3. The number of loop currents required is 3.
We will choose the loop currents shown to the right.
In fact these loop currents are mesh currents.
The result is the following system of equations:
Some Rules for mesh:
*At 1st. we apply KVL
*When we take any loop, this loopโs current will be
maximum .

Solving the system of equations using Gaussian elimination
or some other method gives the following currents, all
measured in amperes:
I1=0.245 A , I2=0.111 A and I3=0.117 A
Collecting terms this becomes:
