Q.

In the given figure R1=10Ω,R2=8Ω,R3=4Ω and R4=8Ω. Battery is ideal with emf 12 V. Equivalent resistance of the circuit and current supplied by battery are respectively           [2024]

1 10.5Ω and 1.14A  
2 12Ω and 1A  
3 10.5Ω and 1A  
4 12Ω and 11.4A  

Ans.

(2)

Here R2,R3,R4 are in parallel,

1R234=1R2+1R3+1R4R234

R234 is in series with R1, so

Equivalent resistant, Req=R234+R1=2+10=12Ω

The current supplied by the battery, i=1212=1A
