NEETPhysicsCurrent ElectricityMCQ+4 / −1
In the circuit shown, the current through the 4 resistor is 1 amp when the points P and M are connected to a d.c. voltage source. The potential difference betwen the points M and N is
- A0.5 volt
- B3.2 volt
- C1.5 volt
- D1.0 volt
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
As the P.D. between 4 and 3 (in parallel), are the same,
4 × 1 amp = 3 × i1
Total resistance of 4 and 3 = 12/7 .
Current in MQP (upper one) =
Current in MNP =
P.D. across
P.D. across 1 = 3.2 volt.
