Question

The current drawn from the battery in the given network is ______ 

(Internal resistance of the battery is neglected)

 

Options

• 2.4 A

• 3.6 A

• 0.6 A

• 1.2 A

Answer 1

The current drawn from the battery in the given network is 2.4 A.

Explanation:

 

Bridge is in balanced condition

∴ `1/R = 1/5 + 1/5`

∴ `R = 5/2 Omega`

∴ `i = (6 xx 2)/5 = 12/5 = 2.4 A`
