Question:

Find the total current drawn from the battery as shown in the circuit diagram :

Options:

0.33 A

0.66 A

3.3 A

13.3 A

Correct Answer:

0.33 A

Explanation:

This circuit is balanced wheat stone bridge. Hence $50\Omega$ resistors can be removed from the circuit. 3 , $10\Omega$ resistor are in series . Two $30\Omega$ resistor are in parallel.

Equivalent resistance is $15\Omega$. 

$ I = \frac{6}{3+15} =\frac{1}{3} = 0.33A$
