Q118 / 125 · BITSAT 2018 · Physics

In the given circuit, The current through battery is

Figure

  • A
    0.5 A
  • B
    1 A
  • Correct answer
    C
    1.5 A
  • D
    2.5 A

Solution

In the given circuit, diode D1 is reverse biased, so it will not conduct but D2,D3 are forward biased, so they will conduct, hence corresponding equivalent circuit. For the given circuit is

Figure

Now, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is

Req=515×205+5+20+203 Ω

Current through battery, I=10 V203 Ω=1.5 A

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