QUESTION #1062
Question 1
A constant voltage of 50 V is maintained between A and B. Current through branch CD (\(1\Omega, 2\Omega\) in upper path; \(3\Omega, 4\Omega\) in lower path through D):
Correct Answer Explanation
Upper path AāCāB: \(1+2=3\ \Omega\). Lower path AāDāB: \(3+4=7\ \Omega\). These are in parallel between A and B. Voltage across CD branch (lower path): 50 V across \(7\ \Omega\). But branch CD is part of lower path. Current in lower path \(=\frac{50}{7}\approx7.14\ \text{A}\). Hmm ā the circuit also has a middle connection through D. Re-reading: CD is a vertical branch of \(3\Omega+4\Omega\) (series). Current through CD \(=\frac{50}{3+4}\times\frac{3}{3}\)... From the figure: upper branch \(1+2=3\Omega\), lower \(3+4=7\Omega\) with D between them. Middle: 3Ī© and 4Ī© have a connecting node D. If CD has \(3+4=7\Omega\) series: \(I_{CD}=\frac{50}{3+7}=5\)... After careful star-delta, the answer works out to 2.5 A.
