The current drawn from the battery in the given network is (Internal resistance of battery is neglected)

The current drawn from the battery in the given network is (Internal resistance of battery is neglected)
  1. $2 \cdot 4 \mathrm{~A}$
  2. $0.6 \mathrm{~A}$
  3. $3.6 \mathrm{~A}$
  4. $1 \cdot 2 \mathrm{~A}$

Solution

Bridge is in balanced condition $\therefore \frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5} \quad \therefore R=\frac{5}{2} \Omega$ $\therefore \mathrm{i}=\frac{6 \times 2}{5}=\frac{12}{5}=2.4 \mathrm{~A}$
