Question

Consider the given circuit:

1) What is the effective/equivalent resistance of the current?

2) What are the readings in both the ammeters i. e. values of I1 and I2?

3) What is the reading in the voltmeter i. e. potential difference across the 8ohm resistor? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 1 / [1 / { 1 / (1/8 + 1/8)+2} +1/4} = 2.4 Ω

2) I₁ = 12/2.4 = 5 A                         I₂ = 0

3) 8 V
