Question

Calculate the value of current I in given circuit. (A) 2 A (B) 1 A (C) 1.5 A (D) 5 A 5 Ω 5 Ω 5 Ω 5 Ω 15 V 5 Ω 5 Ω

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Option (c).

Explanation:

The inclined wire in this circuit is shorting the current so it is not able to flow through resistors above. Only two resistors have flow of current and thier total resistance is 5ohm + 5ohm = 10ohm.

By using formula I = V/R, we get 15V/10ohm = 1.5A.
