Five current carrying conductors meet at a point ' O ' as shown in figure. The magnitude and direction of the current in conductor ' OP ' is
Options
- A6.5 ~A from O to P .
- B9 ~A from P to O .
- C10.5 ~A from P to O .
- D11.5 ~A from O to P .
Correct answer
D. 11.5 ~A from O to P .
Step-by-step solution
Using Kirchhoff's current Law, Current flowing in = Current flowing out aligned & 10+2.5+5=6+ x x & =17.5-6 & =11.5 ~A aligned Magnitude and direction of the current in 'OP' should be 11.5 ~A from O to P .
