Determine the current in 2 resistor.

Determine the current in 2Ω2 \Omega resistor. Determine the current in 2 resistor.

Options

  1. A1A1 \mathrm{ A}
  2. B1.5A1.5 \mathrm{ A}
  3. C0.9A0.9 \mathrm{ A}
  4. D0.6A0.6 \mathrm{ A}

Correct answer

C. 0.9A0.9 \mathrm{ A}

Step-by-step solution

At steady state the capacitor will be fully charged and thus there will be no current in the 1Ω1 \Omega resistance. So the effective circuit becomes Determine the current in 2 resistor.
Net current from the 6V6 \mathrm{ V} battery, I=6(2×32+3)+2.81=61.2+2.8=32=1.5AI=\frac{6}{\left(\frac{2 \times 3}{2+3}\right)+\frac{2.8}{1}}=\frac{6}{1.2+2.8}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5 \mathrm{ A} Between A\mathrm{A} and B\mathrm{B}, voltage is same in both resistances, 22\mathrm{I}1=3_{1}=3\mathrm{I}2_{2} where I1+\mathrm{I}_{1}+\mathrm{I}2=_{2}=\mathrm{I}=1.5⇒2=1.5\Rightarrow 2\mathrm{I}_{1}=3\left(1.5-\mathrm{I}_{1}\right) \Rightarrow\mathrm{I}1=0.9A_{1}=0.9 \mathrm{ A}
