Question

In the circuit shown, each resistance is 2W. The potential V₁ as indicated in the circuit, is equal to –

• A. 11 V
• B. – 11V
• C. 9 V
• D. – 9 V

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

– 9 V

Answer 2

i = $\frac{7V}{7\Omega}$ = 1 A

Current flows in anticlockwise direction in the loop. Therefore 0 – 1 × 2 – 1 × 2 – 5 = V₁

V₁ = – 9V
