Q.

As shown in the figure, a network of resistors is connected to a battery of 24 V with an internal resistance of 3Ω. The currents through the resistors R4 and R5 are I4 and I5 respectively. The values of I4 and I5 are                      [2023]

1 I4=85A and I5=25A  
2 I4=65A and I5=245A  
3 I4=25A and I5=85A  
4 I4=245A and I5=65A  

Ans.

(3)

Equivalent resistance of circuit

Req=3+1+2+4+2=12 Ω

Current through battery i=2412=2 A

I4=R5R4+R5×2=520+5×2=25 A

I5=2-25=85 A
