In the figure below, the current of 1 ampere flows through the resistance of _________ ohms

-
- 1A
- 2A
- 3A
- None of the above
Correct Option: A
There are three parallel banks which are in turn connected in series Equivalent resistance of 20 ohm and 30 ohm parallel resistors
| = | = 12 ohms . | |
| 10 + 15 |
Equivalent resistance of 6 ohm, 4 ohm and 12 ohm bank = 2 ohms.
Total resistance of the circuit = 12 + 2 + 6 = 20 ohms
| ∴ Current drawn from supply = | = | = 6 A | ||
| I | 20 |
| Current through 20 ohms resistor = 6 × | = 3.6 A | |
| 20 + 30 |
Current through 30 ohms resistor = 6 – 3.6 = 2.4
A Equivalent resistance of 6 ohm, 4 ohm and 12 ohm bank = 2 ohm,
Voltage drop = 6 × 2 = 12 V.
| ∴ Current through 6 ohm resistor = | = 2 A | |
| 6 |
| Current through 4 ohm resistor = | = 3 A | |
| 4 |
| Current through 12 ohm resistor = | = 1A | |
| 12 |
