What current will flow through the \(2 \mathrm{k} \Omega\) resistor in the circuit shown in the figure?

  1. A \(3 \mathrm{mA}\)
  2. B \(6 \mathrm{mA}\)
  3. C \(12 \mathrm{mA}\)
  4. D \(36 \mathrm{mA}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 \mathrm{mA}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From KCL we have \(i=\frac{72}{8 \times 10^{3}}=9 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{A}\) \[ \begin{aligned} i \times 6 &=(9-i) \times 3 \\ i &=3 \mathrm{mA} \end{aligned} \]
