JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity
In the circuit, given in the figure currents in different branches and value of one resistor are shown. Then potential at point \(B\) with respect to the point \(A\) is\(.......V\)

- A \(+1\)
- B \(-1\)
- C \(-2\)
- D \(+2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(+1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let us asssume the potential at \(A=V_{A}=0\) Now at junction \(C,\) According to \(KCL\) \(i_{1}+i_{3}=i_{2}\) \(1 A + i _{3}=2 A\) \(i _{3}=2 A\) Now Analyse potential along \(ACDB\) \(v_{A}+1+i_{3}(2)-2=v_{B}\) \(0+1+2(1)-2=v_{B}\) \(v_{B}=3-2\) \(v_{B}=1 Amp\)
