The voltage and the current between A and B points shown in the circuit are _____ .
(A)24 V, 12 A
(B)24 V, 4 A✓ Correct
(C)18 V, 12 A
(D)27 V, 4 A
Answer: (B)
Solution
The four branches each supply 27 V through 3Ω (the third branch's 14 V and 13 V add to 27 V), so in parallel they act as a single source of emf 27 V and internal resistance 43Ω. This drives current through the 3Ω+3Ω=6Ω path joining A and B, so I=6+3/427=27/427=4 A. The voltage across AB is V=I×6=24 V.
