Solution Steps

Step 1: Applying KVL to the left loop

Going clockwise around the left loop, we can write the KVL equation:

-A + V1 + V3 - B = 0

Substituting the given values A = 9V and B = 10V:

-9 + V1 + V3 - 10 = 0 V1 + V3 = 19

Step 2: Applying KVL to the right loop

Going clockwise around the right loop, we can write the KVL equation:

-V3 + C + V2 - D = 0

Substituting the given values C = 3V and D = 11V:

-V3 + 3 + V2 - 11 = 0 V2 - V3 = 8

Step 3: Solving for V1, V2, V3, and V4

We have two equations:

(1) V1 + V3 = 19 (2) V2 - V3 = 8

Also note that due to the parallel configuration we have:

(3) V1 = V4

Adding equations (1) and (2): V1 + V2 = 27

From the figure, we notice that V3 and C are parallel branches, meaning that V3 = C. Therefore:

V3 = 3V

Substituting V3 = 3V into equation (1): V1 + 3 = 19 V1 = 16V

Substituting V3 = 3V into equation (2): V2 - 3 = 8 V2 = 11V

Since V1 = V4 V4 = 16V

Final Answer:

The branch voltages V1, V2, V3, and V4 are 16 V, 11 V, 3 V, and 16 V, respectively.
