A_1=19A

A_2=17A

A_3=14A

A_4=3A

Explanation:

drawn

As shown in figure of the circuit the main current returning from cell is 19A and emerging from cell is A_1. Hence A_1=19A by conservation of charge.

The emerging current A_1=19A is divided in two paths in the first branch as A_2 and 2A ,

So A_2 +2A=19A=>A_2= (19-2)A=17A

Similarly A_2 =17A is divided in two paths in the 2nd branch as

A_3 and 3A. So #A_3 +3A=17A=>A_3= (17-3)A=14A.

From the figure we see 3A returns back passing through R_3 as A_4 So #A_4==3A
