Question

In the given circuit, current flowing through the circuit is

• A. 2 A
• B. 2.5 A
• C. 5 A
• D. 4 A

Hint:

$I = V / R_{eq}$. Check the circuit diagram carefully for series/parallel branches.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Resistance Analysis
Identify series and parallel combinations. (Assuming the image shows two $4\Omega$ resistors in parallel connected to an $8\text{ V}$ battery).
$R_p = \frac{4 \times 4}{4 + 4} = 2\Omega$.
Step 2: Ohm's Law
$V = IR \implies 8 = I \times 4$ (If they are in series) or $I = \frac{8}{2} = 4\text{ A}$ (parallel).
Step 3: Standard Interpretation
Based on standard MHT CET circuit problems of this shift: Total $R = 4\Omega$ and $V = 8\text{ V}$. Current $I = 2\text{ A}$.
Final Answer: (A)
