In the circuit diagram shown in figure given below, the current flowing through resistance 3 Ω is x 3 A . The value of x is ________.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Let the current flowing through the circuit be I   A in anti-clockwise direction. The net resistance is R = 4 . 5   Ω + 2   Ω + 1 . 5   Ω = 8   Ω Hence, I = V R = 4   V 8   Ω = 0 . 5   A The current flowing through the 3   Ω resistor is 6 6 + 3 × 0 . 5   = 1 3   A So, x = 1
