Question
In the network shown below, all resistors are 2 Ω and all batteries are 5
Volts. What are the magnitude and direction (up or down) of the current labelled i
in the figure? Hint: You might be tempted to set up mesh equations for this, which
is obviously ridiculous (although it would work if you spent the time to do it).
Instead, try to find a path that includes the branch with i but no other branches that
have resistors. Then you can use KVL. Draw the path on the circuit diagram.
