Question

The reading of ammeter shown in figure is

• A. 6.56 A
• B. 3.28 A
• C. 2.18 A
• D. 1.09 A

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The equivalent circuit of the given circuit will be reduced to as shown in figure.

Total resistance of the circuit $=\frac{2\times 4}{2+4}+0.8=2.13\Omega$
Total current in the circuit $=\frac{14}{2.13}=6.57A$
Reading of $=6.57A\times \frac{2}{6}=2.18A$
