The figure shown below, calculate the net current from the battery and net resistance of the circuit.
Options
- A1 .33 A , 15 2 Ω
- B1 .33   A ,   15   Ω
- C1 .5   A ,   10   Ω
- D1 .5   A ,   15   Ω
Correct answer
A. 1 .33 A , 15 2 Ω
Step-by-step solution
In the given circuit, B and E are at the same potential. Points C and F are also at the same potential. Therefore, the resistance between B and E , C and F will be ineffective and neglected. Now, the circuit becomes In the above circuit, branch ABCD and AEFD are in the parallel combination. Thus, the net resistance of the circuit. 1 R n e t = 1 5 + 5 + 5 + 1 5 + 5 + 5 = 1 15 + 1 15 = 2 15 ⇒ R n e t = 15 2 Ω ∴ Current, I = V R n e t = 10 15 / 2 = 20 15 = 4 3 = 1 .33 A
