I managed to view your picture of the circuit at the internet address you provided. What you need to do is use Kirchhoff's circuit laws and Ohm's law to compute the separate currents in the two loops of the circuit, I1 (at the top) and I2 (at the bottom). In one common branch of the circuit, the current is I1-I2.
Using Kirchhoff's voltage law twice will let you solve for I1 and I2. Once you have that, voltages at different parts of the circuit are easily calculated.
I get the two following circuit equations using your figure:
22*I1 + 8 + 14*(I1-I2)-12 = 0
14*(I2-I1) +12 +12*I2 +18 = 0
Simplify to
36*I1 -14*I2 = 4
and
-14*I1 + 26*I2 = 30
Check my numbers and proceed to solve for I1 and I2. it has been a long time since I have done this kind of problem
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
To calculate the current through the 22 Ω resistor (a), and the voltage across ab (b), we can follow these steps:
a. To calculate the current through the 22 Ω resistor, we need to know the total voltage in the circuit and the total resistance. Unfortunately, the image you uploaded cannot be accessed, so I do not have that information. However, I can explain how to calculate current with the given values once you provide them.
b. Similarly, to calculate the voltage across ab, we need additional information about the circuit's configuration, such as the presence of other resistors, voltage sources, or any other relevant components, as well as their values. Once you provide those details, I can guide you through the process of calculating the voltage across ab.
Please provide more information or describe the circuit configuration, and I will be able to assist you further.
