12 Ohm resistor of fig. 9.119. we will use superposition to analyze this
circuit. First short E2 and find the current thru the 12 Ohms resistor and
then Short E1 and keep E2 in the circuit and find the same current. Then
algebraically add the two currents (add if in the same directions and
subtract if opposite direction
