Question

Find current in the branch CD of the circuit


Open in App
Solution




Therefore Req=32Ω
from ohm's law, current supply by cell
I=VReq=20 A

using KCL, current division is shown below
(current gets equally divided in parallel branches with same resistance)


using KCL at junction C
Current in branch CD
ICD=IAC+IBC
ICD=10Ω+5Ω=15 A

Hence current in CD = 15 A
Hence, option (a) is correct
