In the circuit diagram shown in figure given below, the current flowing through resistance \(3\, \Omega\) is \(\frac{ x }{3}\,A\). The value of \(x\) is \(...........\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{R}\)
\(R =2\,\Omega\)
\(I _1=\left(\frac{6}{3+6}\right) \times 0.5\)
\(I _1=\frac{2}{3} \times 0.5=\frac{1}{3}\,A\)
\(I _1=\frac{ x }{3}=\frac{1}{3} \therefore x =1\)
