Question

In the given circuit, the reading of the ammeter is:

• A. 6 A
• B. 4 A
• C. 2 A
• D. 1 A

Hint:

Kirchhoff's current law states that the sum of currents entering a junction is equal to the sum of currents leaving the junction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Using Kirchhoff's current law (KCL), we sum the currents entering and leaving the junction where the ammeter is placed: \[ I_{\text{ammeter}} = 10A - 6A - 8A + 2A = 6A \] Thus, the reading of the ammeter is 6 A.
