Kvl Equations 8F631A
1. The problem is to apply Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to the three loops in the circuit and form the equations for the currents $I_1$, $I_2$, and $I_3$.
2. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is equal to the sum of the voltage sources in that loop.
3. For each loop, write the KVL equation by summing voltage drops ($IR$) and equating to the voltage source.
4. Loop 1 (with current $I_1$):
$$10I_1 + 20(I_1 - I_2) + 30I_1 = 1000$$
Explanation: The 20 Ω resistor is shared with loop 2, so voltage drop is $20(I_1 - I_2)$.
5. Loop 2 (with current $I_2$):
$$15I_2 + 20(I_2 - I_1) + 40I_2 + 5(I_2 - I_3) = 1000$$
Explanation: The 20 Ω resistor is shared with loop 1 and the 5 Ω resistor is shared with loop 3.
6. Loop 3 (with current $I_3$):
$$25I_3 + 5(I_3 - I_2) + 35I_3 = 2000$$
Explanation: The 5 Ω resistor is shared with loop 2.
These are the KVL equations for the three loops.
