Find the current in the wire 
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Since resistance 
and 
are in parallel
Similarly we can find equivalent resistance ( 
for resistances 
and 
And 
and 
are in series
So total current flowing in the circuit ' 
' can be given as
Current will distribute in ratio opposite to resistance.
So, distribution will be as
So current in the branch 
will be
