The potential difference (VA VB) between the points A and B in the given figure is


- A3V
- B+3 V
- C+6 V
- D+9 V
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
On applying KVL in the circuit, the potential difference between the two points can be obtained.
VA – VB = (2W × 2A) + 3V + (2A × 1W) = 4V + 3V + 2V = 9 V
