NEET2023PhysicsCurrent ElectricityActual
The magnitude and direction of the current in the following circuit is
Options
- A1 . 5   A from   B to A through E
- B0 . 2   A   from B to A through E
- C0 . 5   A from A to   B through   E
- D5 9   A from A to B through E
Correct answer
C. 0 . 5   A from A to   B through   E
Step-by-step solution
Let the direction of electric current in the circuit be i from A   to   B . Using Kirchhoff's law in clockwise direction, we get - i × 2 + 10 - 5 - i × 1 - i × 7 = 0 ⇒ 5 = 10 i ⇒ i = 5 10 = 0 . 5   A
