    Find the current through the 10 Ω resistor shown in the figure (32-E14).
    Figure 32-E14
    Ans :
    Applying KVL in loop 1, we get:
    3i + 6i1 = 4.5 ...(1)
    Applying KVL in loop 2, we get:
    `` \left(i-{i}_{1}\right)10+3-6{i}_{1}=0``
    `` 10i-16{i}_{1}=-3...\left(2\right)``
    `` ``
    Multiplying equation (1) by 10 and (2) by 3 and then, subtracting (2) from (1), we get:
    `` -108{i}_{1}=-54``
    `` \Rightarrow {i}_{1}=\frac{54}{108}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5``
    `` ``
    Substituting the value of i1 in (1), we get:
    `` 3i+6\times \frac{1}{2}-4.5=0``
    `` 3i-1.5=0``
    `` \Rightarrow i=\frac{1.5}{3}=0.5``
    So, current flowing through the 10 Ω resistor = i - i1 = 0.5 - 0.5 = 0 A
