Here we have five circuit connections, and we want to determine which might be invalid,
for some reason.
For the first circuit, 1 A is sent through a resistor. This is fine.
The second circuit has two different currents joining at the top node to form a current of 3
A, which flows through the resistor. This is also Ok.
In the third circuit, we have two different currents which join together to form a new
current. They are in opposite directions, so they sum together to produce a -1 A current
down. This circuit is also Ok.
The next circuit says that 2 A are flowing counterclockwise while 3 A are flowing
clockwise.
It’s not possible to have two different currents like this, so this is an invalid connection.
The last circuit has two sources driving 4 A clockwise. It seems like it should be fine, but
this is a marginally invalid circuit because both current sources must be perfectly
identical for this to work.
This degree of precision isn’t possible with physical sources.
This isn’t a realistic circuit, and it would be better to simply use a 4 A source.
