Question

The magnitude and direction of the current in the circuit shown will be, $ \frac{7}{3} A $ from $ a $ to $ b $ through $ e $., $ \frac{7}{3} A $ from $ b $ to $ a $ through $ e $., $ 1 A $ from $ b $ to $ a $ through $ e $., $ 1 A $ from $ a $ to $ b $ through $ e $.

Suppose the current i is flowing from a to b through e . Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law, 10 - 4 - 2 i - 3 i - 1 i = 0 ⇒ 6 - 6 i = 0 ⇒ i = 1 A Since value of current is positive means our proposed direction is correct. Hence, the current will flow from a to b through e .
