Question

A constant voltage of 50 V is maintained between the points A and B of the circuit shown in the figure. The current through the branch CD of the circuit is :

• A. \( 2.0 \text{ A} \)
• B. \( 2.5 \text{ A} \)
• C. \( 3.0 \text{ A} \)
• D. \( 1.5 \text{ A} \)

Hint:

Find the potential difference between points C and D (\(V_{CD}\)). Then find the equivalent resistance between C and D by deactivating the source. The current through CD is \(I_{CD} = V_{CD} / R_{eq,CD}\).
