The figure below shows two batteries, E1 and E2, having emfs of 18V and 10V and internal resistances of 1 Ω and 2 Ω, respectively. W₁, W₂ and W₃ are uniform metallic wires AC, FD and BE having resistances of 8 Ω, 6 Ω and 10 Ω respectively. B and E are midpoints of the wires W₁ and W₂. Using Kirchhoff's laws of electrical circuits, calculate the current flowing in the wire W₃:
