Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

The current I flowing through the given circuit will be __________A.

Figure

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 2

  1. The top wire joins nodes 1 and 3; the bottom wire joins nodes 2 and 4.
  2. So every 9 Ω9\ \Omega resistor lies between the same two points: three in parallel.
  3. Req=93=3 ΩR_{eq} = \frac{9}{3} = 3\ \Omega, I=63=2I = \frac{6}{3} = 2 A
  4. So the answer is 2 A.
