[MP PMT 2001]

Options:

A) 1 amp

B) $ 2\sqrt{3},amp $

C) 4 amp

D) 6 amp

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ i\propto \tan \varphi \Rightarrow \frac{i _{1}}{i _{2}}=\frac{\tan {\varphi _{1}}}{\tan {\varphi _{2}}} $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{2}{i _{2}}=\frac{\tan 30}{\tan 60}\Rightarrow i _{2}=6\ amp $
