Question
### Determining the Value of Current \( i_2 \) in the Given Circuit

**Problem Statement:**
What is the value of the current \( i_2 \) for the circuit shown in Figure 1?

**Circuit Description:**
In Figure 1, a circuit is composed of the following components:
- Two voltage sources of 5V (on the left) and 6V (on the right).
- Three resistors with values:
  - 10 Ω (ohms) placed in series with the 5V source.
  - 1 Ω placed in series with the 6V source.
  - 2 Ω placed in the middle connected in parallel with the two aforementioned resistors.
- A constant current source of 4 A oriented downwards connected at the junction between the 10 Ω and 2 Ω resistors.

**Current Directions:**
- \( i_1 \) is defined as the current flowing through the 10 Ω resistor from left to right.
- \( i_2 \) is defined as the current flowing through the 1 Ω resistor from left to right.

**Analysis Approach:**
In order to find \( i_2 \), we need to apply principles such as Kirchhoff's Laws (KCL and KVL) and Ohm's Law to the described circuit, performing relevant calculations as necessary.

**Circuit Diagram:**

**Calculation Steps:**
- Apply KCL at the junctions and KVL around the loops to solve for the unknown currents.
- Use Ohm's Law to find the voltage drops across individual resistors and combine them according to the configuration of the circuit.

**Result:**
Upon following the steps outlined in the analysis approach, the value of the current \( i_2 \) can be accurately determined.

**Conclusion:**
This circuit analysis provides an opportunity to apply fundamental electrical engineering concepts to solve for unknown current
