In each case, determine whether the battery is supplying power or being charged. The batteries and resistors in the circuit are assumed to be ideal and have the following properties: 34.5 V E- 1.50 V E, 16.5 V E 4.50 V RI 43.0 o R, 6.0 o R, 64.0 Q Number O supplying power A O being charged Number (O supplying power A O being charged Number O supplying power being charged Previous Check Answer Next Exit

Explanation / Answer

E1 = 34.5 V

E2 = 1.5 V

E3 = 16.5 V

E4 = 4.5 V

R1 = 43 ohms

R2 = 16 ohms

R3 = 64 ohms

Assuming current in the first loop is clockwise and is i1

and current in the 2nd loop is clockwise and is i2

Applying Kirchoffs Laws in the 2 loops

1st loop

- E3 + E4 - i1 R3 = 0

- 16.5 + 4.5 - i1 *64 = 0

i1 = (4.5 - 16.5)/64 = -0.1875 A

2nd loop

- E4 - i2*R1 + E1 - E2 - i2*R2 = 0

- 4.5 - i2*43 + 34.5 - 1.5 - i2*16 = 0

i2 = (34.5-1.5-4.5)/(43+16) = 0.483 A

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I2 = i2 = 0.483 A , battery is being charged

I3 = i1 = 0.1875 A , supplying power

I4   = i1 - i2 = | - 0.1875 - 0.483 | = 0.6705 A , battery is being charged
