A battery of 6 V is connected to the circuit as shown below. The current I drawn from the battery is

 

  1. 1 A
  2. 2 A
  3. 611 A
  4. 43 A

Solution

The given circuit in the question is a case of a balanced Wheatstone bridge. Therefore, the circuit can be simplified as given below.

The equivalent resistance for the given circuit will be,

Req=3+3×6+63+3+6+6+2=6 Ω

Therefore, the current supplied by the battery is

i=VReq=66=1 A
