current elect pyq

if i solve using kvl i get 2.7 (2.667 precise) but correct answer is 3.3 which can be achieved by kcl or combination of cells (ive watched various solution videos) but i cant understand why it just doesnt work with kvl, did i do calc mistake or theres some conceptual error? can someone do a kvl solution and post?

can you please share your kvl way of doing it? agar kahi likha hua toh? and kvl aur kcl me fark kya hai? is kcl current in = current out and kvl = potential drop across resisters?

yes sir just a sec lemme send my approach

pretty hard to take a clear pic cuz i solve vertically in 3 columns

basically what i did: i took two loops left and right, i1 is current in left, i2 is current in right and i1 + i2 is the current through resistory R2 (which is in middle). i solve the the equations using kvl and got i1 = 1/3 A and i2 = 1/3 A then i used V = E - iR1 in middle to find potential and i got 2.66V but the answer is 3.3V

You can absolutely solve this with kcl and kvl you are probably having issue with equation making However circuits with more than one battery i suggest to use superposition of emf method

okay i probably did some mistakes in calculation or equation making

hmm i see so the formula V = E - iR gives only the voltage diff across the resistor and not the whole wire AB okay okay i get it but this approach is pretty confusing ngl ill stick to kcl and superposition

Which?

thanks for the help! the kvl approach since i have to take in account the negative sign
