The potential difference across 8 ohm resistance is 48 volt as shown in the figure. The value of potential difference across X and Y points will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The given circuit can be redrawn as follows
Resistance between A and B 
Current between A and B = Current between X and Y 
Resistance between X and Y 
⇒ ⇒ Potential difference between X and Y = 8 × × 20 = 160 V
