Single Choice

In the following network, the current flowing through $$15 ohm$$ resistance is

A$$0.8$$A
B$$1.0$$A
C$$1.2$$A
Correct Answer
D$$1.4$$A

Solution

Here we see that:- $$\dfrac{15}{3}=\dfrac{20}{4}$$
Hence, the wheat-stone bridge is balanced, and no current flows through the galvanometer..

The equivalent circuit is shown:-

Now, the given circuit is in parallel connection of resistance with resistance along ABC =18 ohm and along ADC=24 ohm

Now, $$i_1=\dfrac{24}{24+18}\times 2.1A$$

$$\implies i_1=1.2A$$

Hence,current through 15 ohm resistor is $$1.2A$$.

Hence, answer is option-(C).
