In the given circuit diagram, the currents, I 1 = - 0.3   A ,   I 4 = 0.8   A and I 5 = 0…

In the given circuit diagram, the currents, I1=-0.3A,I4=0.8A and I5=0.4A, are flowing as shown. The currents I2,I3 and I6, respectively, are:

  1. 0.4 A, 1.1 A, 0.4 A
  2. 1.1 A, -0.4 A, 0.4 A
  3. 1.1 A, 0.4 A, 0.4 A
  4. -0.4 A, 0.4 A, 1.1 A

Solution

Given I1=-0.3A,I4=0.8A,I5=0.4A,in series connection current will be same, hence I5=I6=0.4A,According to kirchoff's juncion rule, algebraic sum of the currents meeting at tthe juction is zero.i.e currents flowing into the junction is taken as positive and current flowing out of the junction is taken as negative.At the junction R, -I4+I2+I1=0-0.8+I2-0.3=0I2=1.1AAt junction Q, I6+I3-I2-I1=00.4+I3-1.1+0.3=0I3=1.1-0.7=0.4AIt is problem of kirchhof's current law.

I6=0.4 A

I3=0.8 A-O.4A=0.4 A

I2=0.8+0.3A=1.1 A
