Answer

We can rank the situations according to the effective current through the regions: $(a) = (b) = (c) \gt (d)$

Work Step by Step

We can find the effective current directed to the left in each region: (a) $-(-7~C/s) = 7~C/s$ (b) $(3~C/s)-(-4~C/s) = 7~C/s$ (c) $(2~C/s)-(-5~C/s) = 7~C/s$ (d) $(6~C/s)+(-1~C/s) = 5~C/s$ We can rank the situations according to the effective current through the regions: $(a) = (b) = (c) \gt (d)$
