Answer

$I_1 = 1A$ $I_2 = 2A$ $\varepsilon =15V$

Work Step by Step

Applying kirchoffs laws we have junction law $I_1 +I_2 = 3A..........(i)$ loop law $9V -(3I_1)V -(3*2)V =0$ $I_1 = 1A ..................(ii)$ putting value of $I_1$ in $(i)$, we have $I_2 = 2A$ for second loop, $\varepsilon -(2*4.5)V -(3*2)V =0$ $\varepsilon =15V$
