Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2.4 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given circuit can be drawn as:

From the figure, we can see that this is a balanced Wheatstone bridge.
\(\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & \frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5} \\
\therefore & R=5 \Omega \\
\therefore & I=\frac{12}{5}=2.4 \mathrm{~A}
\end{array}\)
