In the given circuit, the current in each resistance is: (a) 0 A (b) 1 A (c) 0.25 A (d) 0.5 A

Answer: (a). In every loop the top and bottom cells point the same way, so going round the loop one is crossed + → - and the other - → +. Net emf in each loop = 2 - 2 = 0. With zero current everywhere, KVL holds in every loop, and the solution is unique. So the answer is (a) 0 A.

In the given circuit, the current in each resistance is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

In every loop the top and bottom cells point the same way, so going round the loop one is crossed $+ \to -$ and the other $- \to +$ .
Net emf in each loop $= 2 - 2 = 0$ .
With zero current everywhere, KVL holds in every loop, and the solution is unique.
So the answer is (a) 0 A.
