Question

Find the current through 6Ω resistor in the circuit shown below.

(a) 0.33

(b) 0.44

(c) 0.55

(d) 0.66

The question was posed to me during an interview.

Asked question is from Compensation Theorem topic in section Useful Theorems in Circuit Analysis of Network Theory

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) 0.55

To explain I would say: Total resistance in the circuit = 4+6||3Ω. The total current drawn by the circuit = 10/(4+6||3)=1.67A. Current through 6Ω resistor = 0.55A.
