Consider the following electric circuit :<br>The current in the above electric circuit is :

  1. A. 1 A
  2. B. (10/15) A
  3. C. 2 A
  4. D. 1.5 A

Correct Answer: A. 1 A

Explanation

The presence of a 0 \Omega wire creates a short circuit across the parallel resistors, bypassing them. Only the series resistors (5 \Omega + 5 \Omega = 10 \Omega) remain active. Using Ohm's law, I = V/R = 10\text{ V} / 10 \Omega = 1 \text{ A}.
