Finding voltage and current in a somewhat unusual circuit
No hard feelings bro. I just wanted to clear things out, not to insult you or anything. Everyone makes mistakes and has brainfarts.- OkuuEE

Finding voltage and current in a somewhat unusual circuit
(Meh typo in picture R5 should be R4) Question was how current flows when there is no voltage drop? I try to answer by using this picture. Because of KVL U1=U2 and U3=U4 and because R1 != R2 current is forced divide unbalancly(0.6A and 1.4A in this case). I think this part is very clear...- OkuuEE

Finding voltage and current in a somewhat unusual circuit
Ofcourse those methods come from those 3 basic laws. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_divider for current division. Total current of circuit is 2A so we can solve current flowing through 70 ohm resistor. Same can be done for 20 ohm resistor and then we just use KCL to solve I0.- OkuuEE

I agree. I solved circuit and got I0=0.2A which is correct answer- If EE isn't your major, you probably can't solve circuit like this. We electrical engineer have our specific circuit analysis methods for circuits like that.- OkuuEE
