Let the direction of electric current in the circuit be i from AtoB. Using Kirchhoff's law in clockwise direction, we get
−(i×2)+10−5−(i×1)−(i×7)=0⇒5=10i⇒i=105=0.5A

Two identical charged conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is $F$. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres $A$ and $B$ (Radii of $A$ and $B$ are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as :
