For the circuit given in figure, find the potential difference between points a and b.

A

`2.4 V`

B

`6V`

C

`10V`

D

`4.8V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Applying Kirchhoff's law in any branch we get
`4-4 (2i) - i-2-I = 0 or i= 0.2A`

`V_(a)-V_(b) = 4-(2i) = 4-4 (0.4) = 2.4V`
