Question

The steady state current through the battery in the circuit given below is (A) 17 A (B) 7 A (C) zero (D)  (10/7)A

In steady state, the branch containing capacitor will become ineffective (ie, we can ignore

1Ω

resistance)
The equivalent circuit will now be

∴ R_{e q} = \frac{R _{1} \times R _{2}}{R _{1} + R _{2}}

= \frac{5 \times 2}{5 + 2} = \frac{10}{7}

Now,

V = i R 10 = \frac{i \times 10}{7}

\Rightarrow i = 7 A
