To find the current through each branch, we will apply Kirchhoff's Laws (KCL and KVL). First, let's define the mesh currents. We will use two clockwise mesh currents: I_1: Current in the left loop. I_2: Current in the right loop. The branch currents will be expressed in terms of I_1 and I_2: Current through the 2 resistor: I_2 = I_1 (flowing right). Current through the 4 resistor: I_4 = I_1 - I_2 (flowing downwards). Current through the 3 $\
