In the following figure, the current I is equal to (a) 2.9 A (b) 3.9 A (c) 6.2 A (d) 7.5 A

Answer: (d). Apply KCL (current in = current out) at each junction. Left junction: 4.5 + 1.7 - 2.3 = 3.9 A goes to the middle junction. Middle junction: 3.9 + 3.2 + 4.9 - 2.6 = 9.4 A goes to the right junction. Right junction: I = 9.4 - 1.9 = 7.5 A So the answer is (d) 7.5 A.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

Apply KCL (current in = current out) at each junction.
Left junction: $4.5 + 1.7 - 2.3 = 3.9$ A goes to the middle junction.
Middle junction: $3.9 + 3.2 + 4.9 - 2.6 = 9.4$ A goes to the right junction.
Right junction: $I = 9.4 - 1.9 = 7.5$ A
So the answer is (d) $7.5$ A.
