Q101 / 125 · BITSAT 2019 · Physics

The value of current I as shown in the given circuit diagram is

Figure

  • A
    2 A
  • B
    1.5 A
  • Correct answer
    C
    0.9 A
  • D
    0.2 A

Solution

The given circuit can be redrawn as

Figure

Since, RABRBC=RADRDC=12, hence, it is a balanced Wheatstone bridge, therefore current flowing in arm BD=0

∴    Req=10+20∥6+12=30∥18

=30×1830+18=11.25 Ω

∴   I=VReq=1011.25=0.89 A=0.9 A

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