In the given circuit, the current through 2   Ω resistor is

In the given circuit, the current through 2 Ω resistor is

  1. 9 A
  2. 0.9 A
  3. 19 A
  4. 10.9 A

Solution

At the steady state, the capacitor behaves as open circuit. The
figure below represents the simple circuit,

Apply Kirchhoff law in loop I,

-6+3I1+I2+2.8I1=0

5.8I1-3I2=6   ....1

Apply Kirchhoff law in loop II,

2I2+3I2-I1=0   ....2
From equation 1 and 2

I2=0.9 A

Thus, the current in 2 Ω resistor is 0.9 A.
