Circut is arranged in a loop, with resistor (5 ohm), power source(2V), resistor (3 ohm), and another power source (3V) connected subsequently. What is the voltage on 5ohm resistor?

The questions is constructed to show, that the order of devices do not affect the currents or voltages.

5ohm / ( 3 + 5)ohm = x/ 2V +5V     x = 35/8 V = 4 3/8V
