In an experiment this circuit is set up. Three ammeters are used to record the currents in the three vertical branches (with
R1 ,
R2 , and
E) . The readings of the ammeters in the resistor branches (i.e. currents in
R1 and
R2 ) are 2 A and 3 A respectively.
Find the equation obtained by applying Kirchhoff’s loop rule in the loop involving
R1 and
R2 .
What will be the reading of the third ammeter (i.e. the branch with
E )? If
E were replaced by 3
E , how would this reading change?
If the original circuit is modified by adding another voltage source (as shown in the following circuit), find the readings of the three ammeters.
In this circuit, assume the currents through
R1 ,
R2 and
R3 are
I1 ,
I2 and
I3 respectively and all are flowing in the clockwise direction.
Find the equation obtained by applying Kirchhoff’s junction rule at point A.
Find the equations obtained by applying Kirchhoff’s loop rule in the upper and lower loops.
Assume
R1 =
R2 = 6 Ω,
R3 = 12 Ω,
r1 =
r2 = 0 Ω,
E1 = 6 V and
E2 = 4 V. Calculate
I1 ,
I2 and
I3 .
For the situation in which
E2 is replaced by a closed switch, repeat parts (a) and (b). Using the values for
R1 ,
R2 ,
R3 ,
r1 and
E1 from part (c) calculate the currents through the three resistors.
For the circuit in part (d) calculate the output power of the voltage source and across all the resistors. Examine if energy is conserved in the circuit.
A student implemented the circuit of part (d) in the lab and measured the current though one of the resistors as 0.19 A. According to the results calculated in part (d) identify the resistor(s). Justify any difference in measured and calculated value.

Kirchhoff’s rules can be used to analyze any circuit, simple or complex.
Kirchhoff’s first rule—the junction rule: The sum of all currents entering a junction must equal the sum of all currents leaving the junction.
Kirchhoff’s second rule—the loop rule: The algebraic sum of changes in potential around any closed circuit path (loop) must be zero.
The two rules are based, respectively, on the laws of conservation of charge and energy.
When calculating potential and current using Kirchhoff’s rules, a set of conventions must be followed for determining the correct signs of various terms.
The simpler series and parallel rules are special cases of Kirchhoff’s rules.
Conceptual questions
Can all of the currents going into the junction in
[link] be positive? Explain.
Apply the junction rule to junction b in
[link] . Is any new information gained by applying the junction rule at e? (In the figure, each emf is represented by script E.)
(a) What is the potential difference going from point a to point b in
[link] ? (b) What is the potential difference going from c to b? (c) From e to g? (d) From e to d?
Consider the circuit in
[link] , and suppose that the emfs are unknown and the currents are given to be
,
, and
. (a) Could you find the emfs? (b) What is wrong with the assumptions?
(a) No, you would get inconsistent equations to solve.
(b)
. The assumed currents violate the junction rule.
is it possible to leave every good at the same level

I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish
Anuolu
is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost
6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
Good day
How do I calculate this question: C= 100+5yd G= 2000 T= 2000 I(planned)=200.
Suppose the actual output is 3000. What is the level of planned expenditures at this level of output?

money as unit of account means what?
Kalombe
A unit of account is something that can be used to value goods and services and make calculations

all of you please speak in English I can't understand you're language

I want to know how can we define macroeconomics in one line
Muhammad
it must be .9 or 0.9
no Mpc is greater than 1
Y=100+.9Y+50
Y-.9Y=150
0.1Y/0.1=150/0.1
Y=1500

hi can someone help me on this question
If a negative shocks shifts the IS curve to the left, what type of policy do you suggest so as to stabilize the level of output?
discuss your answer using appropriate graph.
