MHT CET · Physics · Alternating Current
The reading of the ammeter in the following circuit is

- A 3 A
- B 6 A
- C 12 A
- D 9 A
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 6 A
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(R_p = \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 + R_2} = \frac{3 \times 6}{3 + 6} = 2 \, \Omega\) \(R_{total} = R_p + R_3 = 2 + 4 = 6 \, \Omega\)
