JEE PYQ: Current Electricity Question 54

Question 54 - 2019 (09 Jan 2019 Shift 1)

When the switch $S_1$ in the circuit shown, is closed then the valued of current $i$ will be:

(1) 3 A

(2) 5 A

(3) 4 A

(4) 2 A

Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution

Let voltage at C = xV. KCL: $\frac{20-x}{2} + \frac{10-x}{4} = \frac{x-0}{2}$. $\frac{20-x}{2} + \frac{10-x}{4} = \frac{x}{2}$. Solving: $x = 10$. $i = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{x}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$ A.
