Question

The figure below shows currents in a part of electric circuit. The current \( i \) is:

• A. 1.7 A
• B. 3.7 A
• C. 1.3 A
• D. 1 A

Hint:

Use Kirchhoff’s Current Law to analyze currents at junctions in electrical circuits.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Apply Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL).
According to KCL, the sum of currents entering a junction equals the sum of currents leaving the junction. Step 2: Analyze the currents.
The total current entering the junction is the sum of the currents in the branches. By applying KCL, we find that the current \( i \) is 1.7 A.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{1.7 \, \text{A}} \]
