Simply apply node base analysis and solve it by KCL Law.

Apply nodal analysis find voltage Va then by applying ohms law.

Isn't there any simple way to solve that porblem.

Applying kcl at node A and taking node B as refrence:

(15-va)/68-va/30-(va-8)/100=0

va=5.1689v;

Ir2=va/30=5.1689/30=0.172A=172mA;

By appling mesh analysis

15=68i'+ 30(i'-i")
15=98i'-30i"

Now at second battery

-8=100i"+30*(i'-i")
-8=-30i'+130i"

After calculation

i'=.145
i"= -.028

So total current in 30 ohm resistance

i' - i"

0.145 - (-0.028)

= 0.173 A or

= 173 mA.

Applying kvl to the circuit,

((v-15)/68)+(v/30)+((v-8)/100).
On solving above expression we get 5.171v.

Current at R2= 5.17/30=0.172 amps.
172 milli amps.

Apply nodal analysis for the circuit. After getting Va value, we can find current at 30 ohm.res

(15-VA)/68 - (VA-0)/30 - (VA-8)/100 = 0.

VA = 5.169.

R2 = VA/30.

R2 = 5.169/30.

R2 = 173 mA.

Can you please elaborate the solution so that I can understand. Thanks.

By applying loop analysis at first loop.

15 = 68i'+ 30(i'+i").
15 = 98i'+ 30i".

Now at second loop:

8 = 100i"+30*(i'+i").
8 = 30i'+130i".

After calculation:

i' = 0.145.
i" = 0.028.

So total current in 30 ohm resistance.

i' + i".

0.145 + 0.028.

= 173 mA.
