In the given circuit, if the potential at point B is 24 V , the potential at point A is

  1. A \(-4.8 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(-2.4 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(-12 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(-14.4 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-2.4 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the given circuit, \(\therefore \quad I=\frac{36-12}{3+2}=\frac{24}{5} A\) Again, by \(k \vee L\), \(\begin{aligned} & 24-12-3 \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{V} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{~V}=12-3 \times \frac{24}{5}=-2.4 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned}\)
