The current I flowing in the circuit is: |
2.5 A 2.4 A 2.2 A 2.0 A |
2.4 A |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 2.4 A $I=I_1+I_2=I_4+I_3+I_2$ ...(1) $I_1=I_4+I_3$ ...(2) By kirchoff voltage law, $ΔV=0$ $12-4I_1-(I_4+I_2)3=0$ ...(3) $12-12I_2-(I_4+I_2)3=0$ ...(4) $12-4I_1-6I_3=0$ ...(5) Consider eq. (5) $12-4I_1=6I_3$ Putting this in eq. (3) $6I_3=(I_4+I_2)3$ $2I_3=I_4+I_2$ Substituting this in eq. (1) $I=2I_3+I_3=3I_3$ ∴ On solving above equations $I=3I_3$ $=3×0.8$ $=2.4A$ |
