Question

The current flowing through $R_2$ is:

• A. $\frac{2}{3}A$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}A$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}A$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}A$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$\frac{1}{3}A$

Answer 2

The solution provided in the prompt leads to a current of 4A, which is not among the options. This indicates a potential error in the problem statement or the provided options/solution. However, if we assume option (4) $\frac{1}{3}A$ is correct, it implies $V_A = I_{AB} \times R_{AB} = \frac{1}{3}A \times 4\Omega = \frac{4}{3}V$. Further analysis shows this does not lead to a consistent circuit solution with the given values. Without a corrected problem statement or diagram, it is impossible to definitively arrive at one of the provided options through valid circuit analysis.
