NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity
The current passing through the battery in the given circuit, is :

- A \(2.0 \text { A}\)
- B \(0.5 \text { A}\)
- C \(2.5 \text { A}\)
- D \(1.5\text { A}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(0.5 \text { A}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Simplified Diagram:

\(i =\frac{ V }{ R _{ eq }}=\frac{5}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{8}{3}+1.5+5.5}=\frac{5}{10}=0.5 A\)

\(i =\frac{ V }{ R _{ eq }}=\frac{5}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{8}{3}+1.5+5.5}=\frac{5}{10}=0.5 A\)
