For the circuit shown below, the current IAB is—
-
- 2mA
- – 2mA
- 5mA
- – 5mA
- 2mA
Correct Option: A
The given circuit:
Applying KCL at node A, we get:
+ | + | = 0...............(i) | |||
5kΩ | 20kΩ | 4kΩ |
KCL at node B, we get:
+ | + | = 0...............(ii) | |||
3kΩ | 6kΩ | 4kΩ |
Simplifying equation (i) and (ii), we get:
2VA – VB = 20 ….........(iii)
and
V = 3VB . . . . . …(iv)
VB = 4V and VA = 12V
Now,
IAB = | = | = 2mA | ||
4kΩ | 4kΩ |
Hence alternative (A) is the correct choice.
