Say there are 2 branches of sockets that is running on Radial for example the one on the bottom:
anyway to figure out which socket in a room is running on Radial and which one on Loop as i see the sockets have 2 Live, 2 Neutral & 2 Earth in them.
also when i want to add a socket beside the existing socket with 2L/2N/2E, do i just use a 2.5mm2 wire, or do i use a 4mm2 wire since radial uses x2 2.5mm2 wire.
that new socket will further loop into another 2 sockets.
this is quite tricky..since socket in the middle of the loop also will have 2L/2N/2E...the only difference is socket that is end of the loop will only have 1L/1N/1E..anyway to figure out which socket in a room is running on Radial and which one on Loop as i see the sockets have 2 Live, 2 Neutral & 2 Earth in them.

the only faster way to identify is to do short circuit test..see which MCB trip..
