Explanation / Answer

Here ,

a) No , the ciruit can be reduced to single resistor connected to batteries.

b)

Using KVL in the upper loop ,

24 - 2.2 * I1 - 3 I3 = 0 ---(1)

2.2 * I1 + 3 * I3 = 24 ---(1)

Using KVL in lower loop ,

9 + 3 * I3 - (5 + 0.4 ) * I2 = 0

5.4 I2 - 3 * I3 = 9 ---(2)

using KCL

I1 - I2 - I3 = 0 ---(3)

solving 1 , 2, 3

I1 = 6.59 A

I2 = 3.43 A

I3 = 3.17 A
