SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the magnitude and direction of current through a 10 ohm resistor using Kirchhoff's laws. The book states the current is 1/23 Ampere from A to B, while the user calculated it as 5/37 Ampere (approximately 0.13514A) using the superposition principle. The user verified their calculations by shorting voltage sources and summing voltages, concluding that the book's answer is incorrect. The correct current direction is from A to B, confirming the user's approach and results.
