Hey there everyone!
I just found this website there today and I can't wait to get stuck into the information contained in it. The question that I have relates to a question I'm trying to get an answer to. I haven't seen it happen before but after doing my KVL equations I find that an i1 current at .091A going in an anticlockwise direction passes through both a 12 v emf and 3 ohm resistor while an i2 current of .454A flows through the emf and resistor in a clockwise direction. I need to find the current flow through the battery and also the power dissipated in the 3 ohm resistor which I believe to be the .454A - the .091A and then that will enable me to find the voltage drop which in turn will give me the IxV for my power calculations.
Basically I've not seen this happen and it is counter intuitive to what I've learned already. I'm currently doing an electronic/electric engineering course and the info in the course is not 100% at times.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Neil
