Question

The value of current in the 6Ω resistance is ______.

 

Options

• 4 A

• 6 A

• 8 A

• 10 A

Answer 1

The value of current in the 6Ω resistance is 10 A.

Explanation:

Using KCL at the point 'X,'

`(X - 140)/20 + (X - 90)/5 + (X - 0)/6 = 0`

`X/20 - 7 + X/5 - 18 + X/6 = 0`

X = 60 volt

Now, I = `X/6 = 60/6` = 10 A
