Consider the following electric circuit :<br>The current in the above electric circuit is :
- A. 1 A ✓
- B. (10/15) A
- C. 2 A
- 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}.
