A battery of 6 V is connected to the circuit as shown below. The current I drawn from the battery is
Options
- A1   A
- B2   A
- C6 11   A
- D4 3   A
Correct answer
A. 1   A
Step-by-step solution
The given circuit in the question is a case of a balanced Wheatstone bridge. Therefore, the circuit can be simplified as given below. The equivalent resistance for the given circuit will be, R eq = 3 + 3 × 6 + 6 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 2 = 6   Ω Therefore, the current supplied by the battery is i = V R e q = 6 6 = 1   A
