Question

16. In the given circuit, current flow through resistance
of 5ohm
(1) 15 A
(3) 5 A
(2) 10 A
(4) Zero​

Answer 1

Answer: 5 a

Explanation:

Answer 2

In the given circuit, current flow through resistance of 5ohm is 0.

1. The circuit above can be divided into 2 circuits.

2. Let's name them 1 and 2.

3. Current from the 20V cell flows clock-wise into the 2ohm resistor and at node 1 continues its path clock-wise.

4. The reason being, 'current always flows through the path offering least resistance.'

5. Similarly, in circuit 2, current flows anti clock-wise and continues its path at node 2.
