Document Content and Description Below

Test of Kirchhoff’s Rules 1.Data pertaining to node N1, and comparison to the predictions of the node rule: I4 + I5 = I6 I4= -1.41 A I5= -1.3 A This follows the node rule because the sum of the ... currents at each node equals + I6= 2.71 A zero.  Itot= 0 A 2. Data pertaining to node N2 and comparison to the predictions of the node rule: I1 + I2 = I3 I1= 1.41 A I2= 1.3 A This follows the node rule because the sum of the currents at each node equals + I3= -2.71 A zero.  Itot= 0 A 3. Examine steps 1 and 2. In retrospect, did you need to solve the equations for both nodes? Are the equations independent in a mathematical sense? [Show More]
