Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 5
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation


\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\mathrm{R}_1+\mathrm{R}_2 \\ & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=150.4+\frac{240 \times 10}{250} \\ & =150.4+9.6=160 \Omega \\ & \mathrm{I}_1=\frac{\mathrm{I} \mathrm{R}_2}{240} \\ & \mathrm{I}_1=\frac{\mathrm{I} \times 9.6}{240} \\ & =\frac{20}{160} \times \frac{9.6}{2400}=\frac{1}{200}=5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}=5 \mathrm{~mA}\end{aligned}\)
