Find the current in each wire

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Let potential at point B = 0. Then potential at
other points are mentioned.
`:.` Potential at E is not known numerically.
Let potential at E = x
Now applying kirchhoff's current law at junction E. (This can be applied at any other junction
also).
`(x-10)/1+(x-30)/2+(x-14)/2=0`
4x = 36 `rArr` x = 9
Current in EF =`(10-9)/1=1` A from F to E
Current in BE = `(30-9)/2=10.5` A from B to E
Current in DE = `(9-(-14))/2=11.5` A from E to D
