In the circuit given, find the currents `I`, `I_1` and `I_2` in the circuit.

A

4 A and 2 A

B

4 A and 3 A

C

2 A and 2 A

D

1 A and 2 A

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The resistances `R_1 and R_2` are connected in parallel.

`:. I_1 = [(R_2)/(R_1 +R_2)] = 6 [(6)/(3+6)] = 4A`
and `I_2 = I[(R_1)/(R_1 +R_2)] = 6[(3)/(3+6)] = 2A`
