-Just looking at loop 2 between just the power source and resistor 3 we would expect the voltage across any other elements in that loop to be small. Our answer agrees with this observation as 2.37 is quite small compared to both the battery and resistor 3.+Looking at loop 2 alone between the power source and resistor 3 we would expect the voltage across any other elements in that loop to be small.
