In the arrangement shown in figure, the current through $$5\Omega$$ resistor is?

A$$2A$$
Correct Answer
BZero
C$$\dfrac{12}{7}A$$
D$$1A$$

Solution

In this circuit there are $$2$$ cells connected in parallel
Equivalent internal resistance , $$r_{eq}= \dfrac{r_1 +r_2}{r_1* r_2}$$
where $$r_1$$ and $$r_2 $$ are the respective internal resistance
hence
$$r_{eq}= 1 \Omega$$

And Equivalent e.m.f, $$\dfrac{E_{eq}}{r_{eq}}= \dfrac{E_{1}}{r_{1}}+ \dfrac{E_{2}}{r_{2}}$$
Hence on solving we get
$$E_{eq}= 12 V$$

Hence current through $$5 \Omega$$ resistor
$$I= \dfrac{ E_{eq}}{r_{eq}+5}= \dfrac{12}{1+5}= 2 A$$
