Five resistor each having value of 4 Omega are connected with ideal battery and ammeter as shown in figure. Find reading of ammeter.

Answer»

Solution :When 4 resistances each of VALUE`4 Omega` are connected in parallel equivalent resistance would be `(R)/(N) = (4)/(4) = 1 Omega`. Hence , above circuit can be redrawn as FOLLOWS :

Currne in the ammneter in above CLOSED loop is ,
`I= (epsilon )/(R_(eq))= (2)/(4 + 1 ) = (2)/(5) = 0.4 ` A

Equivalent resictance of pair of resistors,` = (4 xx 4)/(4 + 4 ) =(16)/(8) =2 Omega`
Equivalent resistance of circuit ,
`R = (2 xx 2 )/(2 + 2 ) + 4 `
=1 + 4
= 5 `Omega`
`therefore ` Current in AMMETER I ` = (epsilon)/(R)`
`I =(2)/(3)`
I = 0.4 A
