Options:

A) $ \frac{2i}{5} $

B) $ \frac{3i}{5} $

C) $ \frac{4i}{5} $

D) $ \frac{i}{5} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Applying Kirchoff’s law in mesh ABCDA $ -10(i-i _{1})-10i _{2}+20i _{1}=0 $

Therefore $ ,3i _{1}-i _{2}=i $ …….(i) and in mesh BEFCB $ -,20,(i-i _{1}-i _{2})+,10,(i _{1}+i _{2})+10i _{2}=0 $

Therefore $ 3i _{1}+4i _{2}=2i $ ……(ii) From equation (i) and (ii) $ i _{1}=\frac{2i}{5},,i _{2}=\frac{i}{5} $

Therefore $ i _{AD}=\frac{2i}{5} $
