    This question can be easily solve by using superposition theorem.
    Case I. Take 4V source the circuit becomes neglecting the voltage drop across diode by applying potential divider method voltage drop across AB

    VAB =
    2
    x 4 = 2V
    2 + 2

    Case II. Take 2 V source the circuit becomes due to 2V source there will be no current flowing through the terminal AB because diode becomes reverse bias under this situation.

    Hence there will be no voltage drop across terminal AB due to this voltage source.
    So net voltage = 2 V
    But V0 = – 2V (∵ as sign are opposite)
    so, alternative (D) is the correct answer.

    In order to calculate the voltage across 4 Ω resistor, first we will calculate the current in 4 resistor due to voltage source, due to finding this calculate I as shown in the figure.

    I =
    V
    Req

    R eq = 4 + 4 || (2 + 2) = 4 + 2 = 6 Ω
    so, I =
    12
    = 2 amp.

    Now, the current in branch AB

    = I ×
    4
    =
    2 x 4
    = 1 amp.
    4 + 48

    so, voltage drop across 4 Ω = 1 × 4 = 4 V

  1. In the figure below, the voltage across the 18 ohm resistor is 90 volts. What is the total voltage across the combined circuit at terminal E and F?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    In the given circuit voltage across 18 Ω is 90 V: so, I across 18 Ω will be

    I =
    90
    = 5 amp.
    18


    Voltage drop across AB = 5. 3 || 6 = 5 × 2 = 10 V
    Voltage drop across AC = 90 + 10 = 100 V
    Current in 5 Ω resistor =
    100
    = 20 amp.
    5

    so, Current flowing through 1 Ω resistor = 20 + 5 = 25 amp.
    Voltage drop across 1 Ω = 25 × 1 = 25 V
    so, voltage drop across the terminal E and F
    = 25 + 100 = 125 V

    Correct Option: A

    In the given circuit voltage across 18 Ω is 90 V: so, I across 18 Ω will be

    I =
    90
    = 5 amp.
    18


    Voltage drop across AB = 5. 3 || 6 = 5 × 2 = 10 V
    Voltage drop across AC = 90 + 10 = 100 V
    Current in 5 Ω resistor =
    100
    = 20 amp.
    5

    so, Current flowing through 1 Ω resistor = 20 + 5 = 25 amp.
    Voltage drop across 1 Ω = 25 × 1 = 25 V
    so, voltage drop across the terminal E and F
    = 25 + 100 = 125 V
