A circuit contains a junction with three resistors connected to it. The voltage source in the circuit provides 12V. Two of the resistors have currents of 1A entering and 0.5A leaving the junction, respectively. If the third resistor has a resistance of 10 ohms, what is the current through it, and is it entering or leav...
