Current Electricity

  1. Current through 3 Ω resistor is
    0.8 amp., then potential drop through 4Ω resistor is
    1. 9.6 V
    2. ​2.6 V ​
    3. 4.8 V ​
    4. 1.2 V
Correct Option: C

Voltage across 3 Ω resistance = 3 × 0.8 = 2.4V
This voltage is the same across 6 Ω resistance.
Hence current through this resistance

i =
V
=
2.4
= 0.4 amp
R6

Total current in the circuit ​= 0.8 + 0.4 = 1.2 amp ​
Voltage across 4 Ω resistance ​= 4 × 1.2 = 4.8 volts
