A

0.6A

B

0.9A

C

1.2A

D

0.1A

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
At steady state, no current flows throght the capacitor branch of the circuit `2Omega and 3Omega` are in paralle. Let their combined resistance be R.
`therefore R=(2xx3)/(2+3)=(2xx3)/(5)=1.2Omega`
Net current supplied=`(6)/(1.2+2.8)`
I=5A
I divides into `I_(1) and I_(2)`
`2I_(1)=3I_(2) ("Potential Difference is same"]`
`or I_(2)=2I_(2)//3`
`I_(1)+I_(2)=1.5 or I_(1)=(2I_(1))/(3)=1.5`
`or (5I_(1))/(3)=1.5 or I_(1)=(1.5xx3)/(5)A=0.9A`
