               Step 2: Now if only the voltage source is considered, the current source has to

               be open circuited as shown in Fig. 2.37. The current flowing through the 8 Ω
               resistor is determined as








               Step 3: Hence total current in the 8 Ω resistor from A to B is resistor,

                                                 I = − I  + I
                                                              2
                                                        1
                                                   = −0.4 + 2 = 1.6 A


               Example 2.14    Two batteries are connected in parallel, each represented by

               an emf along with its internal resistance. A load resistance of 6 Ω is
               connected across the batteries. Calculate the current through each battery and

               through the load.
