Solution
By Kirchoff’s law of electrical networks consider closed loop ABEFA
`:. -4I_1 - 5(I_2 + I_2 ) - 7I_1 - I_1 + 34= 0`
`:. -4I_1 - 5I_1 - 5I_2 - 7I_1 - I_1 = -34`
`:. -17I_1 - 5I_2 = -34`
`:. 17I_1 + 5I_2 = 34` .....(1)
Consider closed loop BCDEB,
`4I_2 - 10 + 2I_2 + 7I_2 + 5(I_1 + I_2) = 0`
`:. 4I_2 + 2I_2 + 7I_2 + 5I_1 + 5I_2 = 10`
`18I_2 + 5I_1 = 10` ....(2)
Mutiply equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 17 and Substract
∴ `I_1 = 2A`
