In this circuit, the value of \(\mathrm{I}_{2}\) is

  1. A \(0.6 \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B \(0.2 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(0.3 \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D \(0.4 \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.4 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By current divider rule, we have,
\(\begin{aligned}\mathrm{I}_{2} &=\frac{\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}}{\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{3}}} \mathrm{I}-\frac{\frac{1}{15}}{\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{30}} \times 1.2 \\&=0.4 \mathrm{~A}\end{aligned}\)
