JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 14. Semicondutor electronics
What is the current through the battery in the circuit shown below?

- A 1.5 A
- B 0.5 A
- C 0.25 A
- D 1.0 A
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 0.5 A
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Both are forward biased \(\begin{aligned} & \text { hence } \mathrm{R}_{\text {eq }}=10 \Omega \\ & \mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~A} \end{aligned}\)
