In the given circuit, find voltage across 12 resistance.

In the given circuit, find voltage across 12Ω12 \Omega resistance. In the given circuit, find voltage across 12 resistance.

Options

  1. A12 Volt
  2. B36 Volt
  3. C72 Volt
  4. D48 Volt

Correct answer

D. 48 Volt

Step-by-step solution

If R1\mathrm{R}_1 be the equivalent resistance of parallel resistors 8Ω,8Ω8 \Omega, 8 \Omega and 4Ω4 \Omega, then 1R1=18+18+14=48⇒R1=2Ω\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{8} \Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_1=2 \Omega ∴\therefore Total resistance of upper branch, R2=R1+4=2+4=6Ω\mathrm{R}_2=\mathrm{R}_1+4=2+4=6 \Omega Now circuit can be redraw of In the given circuit, find voltage across 12 resistance. By current division rule, current through 12Ω12 \Omega resistor I2=12×612+6=12×13=4 A\mathrm{I}_2=\frac{12 \times 6}{12+6}=12 \times \frac{1}{3}=4 \mathrm{~A} ∴\therefore Voltage across 12Ω12 \Omega resistor V=\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{I}2R=4×12=48 V_2 \mathrm{R}=4 \times 12=48 \mathrm{~V}
