Question

Consider the circuit shown. If all the cells have negligible internal resistance, what will be the current through the $2\Omega$ resistor when steady state is reached ?

• A. 0.66 A
• B. 0.29 A
• C. 0 A
• D. 0.14 A

Answer 1

The correct option is C 0 A

The emfs due to two of the cells cancel out. The circuit can be redrawn as

The capacitor is in steady state. The circuit is open. Hence no current passes through it.
