Question

An experiment was set up with the circuit diagram shown in figure.

Given that R₁ = 10 Ω, R₂ = R₃ = 5 Ω, r = 0 Ω and E = 5 V.

The current through branch bg is ______.

Options

• 1 A

• `1/3 A`

• `1/2 A`

• `2/3 A`

Answer 1

The current through branch bg is `bbunderline(1/2 A)`.

Explanation:

Current through bg branch = `E/R_1`

= `5/10`

= `1/2 A`
