Figure

  • Correct answer
    A
    0 A,0.5 A
  • B
    0 A,1 A
  • C
    0.5 A,1 A
  • D
    1 A,0 A

Solution

The figure below represents the given circuit.

Figure

Apply Kirchhoff voltage law in loop I,

-9+6I1+12I1+I2=0

18I1+12I2=9

6I1+4I2=3   ....1

Apply Kirchhoff law in loop II.

-6+15I2+12I1+I2=0

12I1+27I2=6

4I1+9I2=2   ....2

From equation 1 and 2,

I1=0.5 A

I2=0

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