Question

Analyse the following circuit for current in 2Ω resistance by mesh analysis

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Assuming currents in various branches [Refer Figure]

In Left loop, we see that same current i

1

will flow through the battery and the 5Ω resistance, as they are in series.

Step 2: Applying KCL

Applying Kirchoff's Current Law(or Junction Law) at Junction A:

i

1

=i

2

+i

1

⇒ i

2

=0

Therefore, No current will flow through 2Ω Resistance.
