What is the current through the 2-Ω  resistor and 8 -Ω resistor in the circuit shown? 

8 V
2Ω
8Ω
16 V
Transcribed Image Text:8 V 2Ω 8Ω 16 V
Expert Solution
Step 1

We have given in the figure two resistance and the two voltage here, let us assume that the resistance R1 =2 ohm R2 is 8 ohm. 

Now draw a figure and apply the KVL on the circuit  and give the direction of current in the circuit
