Find the current in every branch ?...


Find the current in every branch ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let we assume x potential at the top junction & zero potential at lower junction
As from KCL , net current on a junction is O
`i_(1)+i_(2)+i_(3)=0`
`(x-5)/(2)+(x-10)/(2)+(x-20)/(2)=0`
`3x=35 " " rArr " " x=(35)/(3)`

`therefore i_(1)=((35)/(3)-5)/(2)=(10)/(3)A`
Similarly , `i_(2)=(5)/(6)A,i_(3)=-(25)/(6)A`.
