If each resistance in the figure is \(9 \Omega\), then the reading of the ammeter (A) is

  1. A 8 A
  2. B 5 A
  3. C 2 A
  4. D 9 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R_{series} = 9 \, \Omega + 9 \, \Omega = 18 \, \Omega\) \(\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{9 \, \Omega} + \frac{1}{9 \, \Omega} + \frac{1}{18 \, \Omega} = \frac{2+2+1}{18 \, \Omega} = \frac{5}{18 \, \Omega}\) \(R_{eq} = \frac{18}{5} \, \Omega = 3.6 \, \Omega\)…
