In the circuit, given in the figure currents in different branches and value of one resistor are shown. Then potential at point B with respect to the point A is:
Options
- A+ 2 V
- B- 2 V
- C– 1 V
- D+ 1 V
Correct answer
D. + 1 V
Step-by-step solution
Using kirchhoff's law in the circuit A C D B , we get Voltage at B = voltage at A + voltage of battery of 1   V + potential difference across 2   Ω resistance - voltage of battery of 2   V ⇒ V A + 1 + 2 ( 1 ) - 2 = V B Now potential at point B with respect to point A is given by, ⇒ V B - V A = 1   V
