Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

A current of 15 mA flows in the circuit as shown in figure. The value of potential difference between the points A and B will be:

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. 10 kΩ∥5 kΩ=103 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega \parallel 5\text{ k}\Omega = \frac{10}{3}\text{ k}\Omega
  2. Between A and B: 5+103+10=553 kΩ5 + \frac{10}{3} + 10 = \frac{55}{3}\text{ k}\Omega in series
  3. VAB=15 mA×553 kΩ=275 VV_{AB} = 15\text{ mA} \times \frac{55}{3}\text{ k}\Omega = 275\text{ V}
  4. So the answer is (d) 275 V.
