D.C. Circuits 57As a check that the current law has been correctly applied, considerjunctions B and C:current arriving at B Itotal current leaving I1I2so I I1 I2current arriving at C ( I1I3) ( I2 I3) I1I3 I2 I3 I1I2 IHence, current leaving battery current returning to battery.Worked Example 2.11Q For the bridge network shown in Fig. 2.24 calculate the current through each resistor, and the currentdrawn from the supply.B(I 1 I 3 )6 Ω 4 ΩI 1I 3A5 ΩCI 2I3 Ω1 Ω(I 2 I 3 )D10 VFig. 2.24AThe circuit is first labelled and the currents identified using the current law asshown in Fig. 2.24 .ABDA :06I15I33I206I1 3I25I3……………[ 1]BDCB :05I31( I2I3) 4( I1I3)5I3I2I34I14I304I I 10I……………[ 2]12 3
