What is the current through the battery in the circuit shown below

What is the current through the battery in the circuit shown below
  1. 1.5 A
  2. 0.5 A
  3. 0.25 A
  4. 1.0 A

Solution

Both are forward biased
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { hence } \mathrm{R}_{\text {eq }}=10 \Omega \\ & \mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}$
