In the given circuit, find voltage across 12 resistance.
Options
- A12 Volt
- B36 Volt
- C72 Volt
- D48 Volt
Correct answer
D. 48 Volt
Step-by-step solution
If R ₁ be the equivalent resistance of parallel resistors 8 , 8 and 4 , then 1 R ₁ = 1 8 + 1 8 + 1 4 = 4 8 R ₁=2 Total resistance of upper branch, R ₂= R ₁+4=2+4=6 Now circuit can be redraw of By current division rule, current through 12 resistor I ₂= 12 6 12+6 =12 1 3 =4 ~A Voltage across 12 resistor V = I ₂ R =4 12=48 ~V
