Vedclass · Answer

(B) The circuit consists of three $2\,\Omega$ resistors connected in parallel between points $X$ and $Y$.The equivalent resistance $R_p$ of these three parallel resistors is given by:$\frac{1}{R_p} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \implies R_p = \frac{2}{3}\,\Omega$.This parallel combination is in series with an internal resistance of $2\,\Omega$ (associated with the battery branch).Total resistance of the circuit $R_{eq} = 2 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6+2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}\,\Omega$.The current $I$ through the ammeter is given by Ohm's law:$I = \frac{V}{R_{eq}} = \frac{2}{8/3} = 2 	imes \frac{3}{8} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}\,A$.
