In a two-source circuit, one source alone produces 10 mA through a branch. If the other source alone produces 8 mA in the opposite direction through the same branch,W hat is the total current through the branch?
A)8 mA
B)18 mA
C)10 mA
D)2 mA

When two sources produce currents in opposite directions through the same branch, the total current is the difference between the two currents, which is $10 \, \text{mA} - 8 \, \text{mA} = 2 \, \text{mA}$.
