Find current (i) in circuit shown in figure. Find current (i) in circuit shown in figure.

Options

  1. A0.5A0.5 A
  2. B0.2A0.2 A
  3. C1A1 A
  4. D2A2 A

Correct answer

A. 0.5A0.5 A

Step-by-step solution

Above circuit is satisfied, the Wheatstone bridge condition, so no current is flow in the branch BC and it behaves like an open circuit. So, circuit becomes as shown below Now, in the above circuit RABD=5+10=15ΩRACD=10+20=30Ω\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{ABD}}=5+10=15 \Omega \\ & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{ACD}}=10+20=30 \Omega\end{aligned} Resistance, RABD\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{ABD}} and RACD\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{ACD}} in parallel, so Rnet =15×3030+15=45045=10Ω∴i=ERnet =510=0.5A\begin{aligned} \mathrm{R}_{\text{net }} & =\frac{15 \times 30}{30+15}=\frac{450}{45}=10 \Omega \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{i} & =\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{R}_{\text{net }}}=\frac{5}{10} \\ & =0.5 \mathrm{ A}\end{aligned}
