\

\"\"

\

Indicate the direction of current in the above circuit.

\

Equivalent resistance :

\

6\"\" resistor is in parallel with 8\"\" resistor.

\

\"\"

\

Resistance RT is in series with 4\"\" resistor.

\

\"\"

\

Step 2:

\

\

Step 3:

\

Now Short circuit the second voltage source.

\

\"\"

\

Indicate the direction of current in the above circuit.

\

Equivalent resistance :

\

4\"\" resistor is in parallel with 8\"\" resistor.

\

\"\"

\

Resistance RT is in series with 6\"\" resistor.

\

\"\"

\

Step 4:

\

Circuit current :

\

\"\"

\

Current across each resistor :

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

 Step 5:

\

Current through Load resistor 8\"\" =

\

             = Current produced by 8\"\" resistor due to 5 V + Current produced by 100\"\" resistor due to 7V

\

             =0.2884+0.2692

\

             = 0.5576

\

Current through 8\"\" resistor is 0.5576 A.

\

 Solution:

\

Current through 8\"\" resistor is 0.5576 A.
