Question

What will be the value of current I (in A) for the given electrical circuit?

The correct answer is
10

To find the currentI (in A) through the 6 Ω resistor, we need to analyze the given circuit using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Current Law (KCL).

Step-by-step solution:

  1. The circuit includes a current source of 20 A connected in parallel with a series combination of a 2 Ω resistor and a voltage source of 60 V on the left side, and a 3 Ω resistor and a voltage source of 30 V on the right side.
  2. Apply KCL at the top node where the current source, 2 Ω, 6 Ω, and 3 Ω resistors meet. The current entering the node from the current source is balanced by the current flowing through the resistors:
    • The total current entering the node from the current source is 20 A.
    • This current splits into parts through the 2 Ω, 6 Ω, and 3 Ω resistors.
  3. Apply KVL in the loop with the 2 Ω resistor and the left voltage source:
  4. Apply KVL in the loop with the 3 Ω resistor and the right voltage source:
  5. For the 6 Ω resistor:
  6. Using KCL:
    • Solve the above equations considering I_1, I_3, and V to find the current I (in A).
  7. Using equations, we get:

Thus, the current through the 6 Ω resistor is 10 A. The correct answer is 10.
