The total current supplied to the following circuit by the battery is

• Correct answer
  A

  $4 \mathrm{~A}$
• B

  $2 \mathrm{~A}$
• C

  $1 \mathrm{~A}$
• D

  $6 \mathrm{~A}$

Solution

The given circuit diagram is shown below
Redrawing the above circuit diagram as
Equivalent resistance of the circuit is given as $R=[(6 \| 2)+1.5] \| 3$ $=\left[\frac{6 \times 2}{6+2}+1.5\right]\|3=3\| 3=\frac{3 \times 3}{3+3}=1.5 \Omega$ $\therefore$ Total current supplied to the circuit by the battery, $I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{6}{1.5}=4 \mathrm{~A}$

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