Question

In the circuit shown in the figure, the magnitude of potential difference between point A and E is?

Answer 1

Answer:

From the given figure we ca easily find the resultant resistance of circuit,

⟹

Ω

Using formula for Ohm's law,

V=IR

eq

2=IR

A

So, a current of

15

A is passing through circuit.

Using Kirchhoff's law for loop TRBSuT

⟹I

(5)−2=0

⟹I
