Question
Determine the numerical value for \(i_{eq}\) in Fig. 3.74b, if (a) \(i_1 = 0\), \(i_2 = -3\ A\), and \(i_3 = +3\ A\); (b) \(i_1 = i_2 = i_3 = 1\ A\); (c) \(i_1 = -9\ A\), \(i_2 = 4.5\ A\), \(i_3 = 1\ A\).
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number 33 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Determine the numerical value for \(i_{eq}\) in Fig. 3.74b, if (a) \(i_1 = 0\), \(i_2 = -3\ A\), and \(i_3 = +3\ A\); (b) \(i_1 = i_2 = i_3 = 1\ A\); (c) \(i_1 = -9\ A\), \(i_2 = 4.5\ A\), \(i_3 = 1\ A\).
From the textbook chapter Voltage and Current Laws you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
