The reading of ammeter shown in figure is

Options

A. 6.56 A
B. 3.28 A
C. 2.18 A
D. 1.09 A

Answer

C

Explanation

The equivalent circuit of the given circuit will be reduced to as shown in figure.

Total resistance of the circuit `=(2xx4)/(2+4)+0.8`
`=(8)/(6)+0.8=(12.8)/(6) Omega`
Main current in the circuit `=(14)/((12.8//6))=(84)/(12.8)A`
Reading of ammeter `=(84)/(12.8)xx(2)/(6)=2.18A`
