For the circuit shown in figure, the ammeter 
reads 1.6 A and ammeter 
reads 0.4 A . Then
A
B
C
the ammeter 
reads 1.2 A
reads 1.2 A D
the ammeter 
reads 2 A
reads 2 A
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The current of 1.6 A lags emf in phase by 
. The current of 0.4 A leads emf in phase by 
. So, these two currents are 
out of phase with each other.
Net current,
