Practicing Success
As the switch S is closed in the circuit shown in figure, current passing through it is
|
4.5 A 6.0 A 3.0 A Zero |
4.5 A |
Let the potential at junction C, is V. Applying Krchhoff’s junction law at the junction
or $\frac{20-V}{2}+\frac{5-V}{4}=\frac{V-0}{2}$ or 5 V = 45 ∴ V = 9 V ∴ Current through switch S, $i_3=\frac{9}{2}$ = 4.5 A |
