Calculate the current flowing through 10Ω resistor in the circuit shown below.(a) ±0.435A(b) ±0.985A(c) 1.217A(d) 2.782AThe question was asked during an online exam.This interesting question is from The Mesh-Current Method and Dependent Sources and Some Special Cases topic in chapter Techniques of Circuit Analysis of Electric Circuits

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) ±0.435A

Best explanation: LOOP2 and loop3 forms a supermesh.

Supermesh: I3-I2=4

Loop1: 11I1-10I2=2

KVL at Supermesh: -2I1+3I2+3I3=0

Solving these GIVES the currents FLOWING in the circuit and CURRENT through 10Ω resistor is EITHER I1-I2 or I2-I1.
