Question

Four resistances are connected in a circuit in the given figure. The electric current flowing through 4 ohm and 6 ohm resistance is respectively

A

2 amp and 4 amp

B

1 amp and 2 amp

C

1 amp and 1 amp

D

2 amp and 2 amp

Answer

2 amp and 2 amp

Explanation

Solution

Equivalent resistance $= \frac{4 \times 4}{4 + 4} + \frac{6 \times 6}{6 + 6} = 5ohm$ so the current in the circuit $= \frac{20}{5} = 4$ ampere Hence the current flowing through each resistance = 2 ampere.
