The magnitude and direction of the current in the following circuit is

The magnitude and direction of the current in the following circuit is

 

  1. 1.5 A from B to A through E
  2. 0.2 A from B to A through E
  3. 0.5 A from A to B through E
  4. 59 A from A to B through E

Solution

Let the direction of electric current in the circuit be i from A to B. Using Kirchhoff's law in clockwise direction, we get

-i×2+10-5-i×1-i×7=0⇒5=10i⇒i=510=0.5 A
