![The circuit above shows how resistors and cells can be connected given that a,b and c represent currents. Using kirchoffs laws, a) find the values of a,b and c. [these are not usual symbols] b) Calculate the pd (potential difference) between A and B.](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q84846.png)
