Q: Calculate the value of current passing through all of the resistors in the given circuit.
Solution:
To simplify the circuit first
3k||6k= (3 x6)/ (3+6) =18/9=2kΩ
Through the circuit 2k Ω is in series with 2k Ω so their joint effect =2k+2k=4k Ω
Through the circuit 3k is in series along 1k so their joint effect= 3k+1k=4k
Now 4k is in parallel along 4k, therefore
4k||4k=16/8=2k
Now through the circuit the resistors 2kΩ, 6kΩ & 4kΩare in series
So they will be joint as=6k+2k+4k=12k Ω.
Therefore the current passing through all of resistors by Ohm's law
=12/12k
= 1k-1 A = 1mA Ans.
