Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

The net current flowing in the given circuit is __________ A.

Figure

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: 1

  1. In steady state the 1 μ1\ \muF capacitor blocks current, so everything to its right carries no current.
  2. At B: 3 Ω∥6 Ω=2 Ω3\ \Omega \parallel 6\ \Omega = 2\ \Omega to the bottom line; with 2 Ω2\ \Omega in series: 4 Ω4\ \Omega.
  3. This is in parallel with the 4 Ω4\ \Omega diagonal: Req=2 ΩR_{eq} = 2\ \Omega.
  4. I=22=1I = \frac{2}{2} = 1 A
  5. So the answer is 1 A.
