    The given circuit:

    From figure,

    I30Ω =
    45
    = 1·5A
    30

    Voltage across 10Ω resistance is
    = 1·5 × 10 = 15V
    Now,
    VAB = 15V + 45V = 60 V
    Current in branch
    CD =
    60V
    = 2A
    30Ω

    Now, current in ammeter
    = 1·5 + 2 = 3·5 A

    Correct Option: B

    The given circuit:

    I =
    V
    =
    120
    Zeq(60 + j 60) || – 120j

    or
    I =
    120
    60 (1 + j) × (– 120j)
    60 (1 + j) – 120j

    or
    I =
    120
    60 (1 + j) (– 120j)
    60 (1 – j)

    or
    I =
    (1 – j) j
    =
    j + 1
    = 0
    (1 + j)1 + j

    or
    I = 0 + j 0
    Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: D

    The given circuit:

    I =
    V
    =
    120
    Zeq(60 + j 60) || – 120j

    or
    I =
    120
    60 (1 + j) × (– 120j)
    60 (1 + j) – 120j

    or
    I =
    120
    60 (1 + j) (– 120j)
    60 (1 – j)

    or
    I =
    (1 – j) j
    =
    j + 1
    = 0
    (1 + j)1 + j

    or
    I = 0 + j 0
    Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.


  1. In figure, the admittance values of the elements in siemens are YR = 0·5 + j0, YL = 0 – J1·5, YC = 0 + j0·3 respectively. The value of I as a phasor when the voltage E across the elements is 10 ∠ 0° V is—

    The given figure:

    I = V Yeq
    where, Yeq = YR + YL + YC
    = 0·5 + j0 + 0 – j1·5 + 0·j 0·3
    = 0·5 – j1·2
    Now, I = 10   0° (0·5 + j1·2)
    or
    I = 5 – j12
    Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: D

    The given figure:

    I = V Yeq
    where, Yeq = YR + YL + YC
    = 0·5 + j0 + 0 – j1·5 + 0·j 0·3
    = 0·5 – j1·2
    Now, I = 10   0° (0·5 + j1·2)
    or
    I = 5 – j12
    Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
