Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(12 \Omega\) and \(1 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here \(R_2, R_3, R_4\) are in parallel

\(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{254}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_5}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_4}\)

\(\mathrm{R}_{254}=2 \Omega\)

\(R_{234}\) is in series with \(R_1\) so

\(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\mathrm{R}_{234}+\mathrm{R}_1=2+10=12 \Omega\)

\(\mathrm{i}=\frac{12}{12}=1 \mathrm{Amp}\)
