Solution
The correct option is C 12 V In the steady state, no current flow through C. So no current will pass through rightmost resistor. The current flow is shown in figure. By apply Kirchhoff's law for loop ABEFGA: 15=3i1+3(i1+i2)⇒2i1+i2=5...(1) and for loop ABCDEFGA: 15=Ri2+Ri2+R(i1+i2)⇒i1+3i2=5...(2) From (1) and (2), i1+3(5−2i1)=5 or 5i1=10⇒i1=2A and i2=5−2(2)=1A Potential across C =VDF=VDE+VEF or VC=Ri2+R(i1+I2)=3(1)+3(2+1)=12V
