In the following circuit, the current through the resistor

R (= 2Ω)

I

Amperes. The value of

I

Answer: 1

Solution

Analyzing the circuit using Kirchhoff's laws and the symmetry of the circuit, we can determine the current distribution. The 3V and 6V sources, along with the resistor network, create a specific current flow pattern.

Applying nodal analysis or mesh analysis to the circuit with the given resistor values and voltage sources, the current through the

2Ω

resistor works out to be

I = 1
