AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Current Electricity

A current of 6 A enters one comer P of an equilateral triangle PQR having three wires of resistance \(2 \Omega\) each and leaves by the comer \(R\) as shown in figure. Then the currents \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{I}}\), and \(\mathrm{I}_2\), are respectively

  1. A \(4 \mathrm{~A}, 2 \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{~A}, 3 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(6 \mathrm{~A}, 0\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{~A}, 4 \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \mathrm{~A}, 4 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equivalent circuit diagram is \(\therefore \mathrm{I}_1=\left(\frac{2}{4+2}\right) \mathrm{I}=\frac{1}{3} \times 6=2 \mathrm{~A}\) \(\mathrm{I}_2=\left(\frac{4}{4+2}\right) \mathrm{I}=\frac{2}{3} \times 6=4 \mathrm{~A}\)
