Question

Find the voltage drop across 5Ω resistor in the circuit shown below.

(a) 33

(b) 34

(c) 35

(d) 36

The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Question is taken from Norton’s Theorem topic in chapter Useful Theorems in Circuit Analysis of Network Theory

Answer 1

Right option is (d) 36

Best explanation: The voltage drop across 5Ω resistor in the circuit is the product of current and resistance => V = 5×7.16 = 35.8 ≅ 36V.
