Refer to the figure below.
R = resistance.
Case 1:
The voltage source is V₁ and the current is 10 mA. Therefore
V₁ = (10 mA)R
Case 2:
The voltage source is V₂ and the current is 8 mA. Therefore
V₂ = (8 mA)R
Case 3:
The voltage across the resistance is V₁ - V₂. Therefore the current I is given by
V₁ - V₂ = IR
10R - 8R = (I mA)R
2 = I
The current is 2 mA.
Answer: 2 mA
