Consider the circuit shown. If all the cells have negligible internal resistance, what will be the current through the $2 \Omega$ resistor when steady state is reached?

• A

  $0.66 \mathrm{~A}$
• B

  $0.29 \mathrm{~A}$
• Correct answer
  C

  $0 \mathrm{~A}$
• D

  $0.14 \mathrm{~A}$

Solution

Hint:
$2-8 I-8 I-2=0$ $-8 I=0$ $I=0$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
