In the circuit shown, the internal resistance of the cell is negligible. The steady state current in the 2 ~ resistor is

Step-by-step solution

2 and 3 resistors are in parallel, so their equivalent resistance, R_ eq = 2 3 2+3 = 6 5 =1.2 As capacitor blocks DC at steady state, so the resistor 4 is ineffective. The R_ eq and 28 are in series, so total resistance of circuit, R_ T =1.2+2.8=4 Current in circuit, I= V R_ T = 6 4 =15 ~A Potential across the combination of 2 and 3 resistors V^ =15 1.2=1.8 ~V The steady state current in 2 resistor is I^ = V^ 2 = 1.8 2 =0.9 ~A
