Does a part of current form cell E1 go through the cell with emf E2? or only through the resistor R?
Similarly does current from E2 pass through E1?

SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on circuit analysis, specifically the flow of current through components such as resistors and electromotive forces (emf). It establishes that the same current flows through both the emf sources E1 and E2, as well as through their respective resistors R1 and R2. Kirchhoff's law is highlighted as a fundamental principle for determining net current in a circuit, emphasizing that only one current flows through each branch of the circuit.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Kirchhoff's laws
- Familiarity with basic circuit components (resistors and emf sources)
- Knowledge of current flow in electrical circuits
- Ability to analyze simple series and parallel circuits
- Study Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) in detail
- Learn about series and parallel circuit configurations
- Explore Ohm's Law and its applications in circuit analysis
- Practice circuit analysis problems using simulation tools like LTspice
Electrical engineering students, hobbyists in electronics, and anyone interested in understanding the principles of circuit analysis and current flow.

In any circuit, only one current flows through one branch, even though it contain resistance and cell.That net current can be found by Kirchhoff law.

Hi sArGe99! 
(try using the X2 tag just above the Reply box
)
The same amount of current passes through E1 as through R1.
The same amount of current passes through E2 as through R2.
Call them I1 and I2, and call the current through R I3.

Carry on from there.
