Step 1Resistors are given, 20 ohm, 10 ohm  and the voltages are given, 9.0 V AND 6.0 VStep 2Here, we will be using Kirchoff&#039;s Loop law in a clockwise direction, this law states that the sum of all the potential difference in a loop is 0.  V  =  Potential difference hence,  ∑  V  =  0 we will be solve i ,   +  9  −  10  i  −  6  −  20  i  =  0  3  −  30  i  =  0  i  =      3    30    =  0.1  ASo the final result is positive, and we are in the correct direction and 0.1A is clockwise.
