Question

In the circuit diagram shown, if a wire of negligible resistance is connected between $X$ and $Y$, the current flowing in the wire will be:

• A. Zero
• B. 0.25 ampere
• C. 0.75 ampere
• D. Infinity

Answer 1

The correct option is B 0.25 ampere

Given : $V=1.5$ volts

Total resistance of the circuit $R=2+4+0=6\Omega$

Current flowing through circuit $i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{1.5}{6}=0.25$ A
