Question:

In the circuit shown R1 = 10 ohm R2 = 20 ohm R3 = 30 ohm And the potentials of points A, B and C are 10V, 6V and 5V respectively The current though resistance R1 is

Options:

0.1A

0.2A

0.3A

0.4A

Correct Answer:

0.2A

Explanation:

             10l1 + 20l2 = 10 –6 = 4                                                  … (1)

            10l1 + 30(l1 – l2) = 5

            or   40 l1  – 30 l2 = 5                                        … (2)

            Solving for l1,

            We get l1 = 0.2A
