Three resistors are arranged as shown. The potential of the point O is:
Correct answer: A. 3V
- A. 3V
- B. 1V
- C. 4V
- D. 5V
Explanation
Option A is correct. Applying KCL at point O allows us to determine that the potential is 3 V.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.

Find the current passing through the 10 Ω resistor in the figure below.
A charge passing through a resistor is varying with time as shown in the figure. The amount of heat generated in time 't' is best represented (as a function of time) by
The figure shows a meter bridge circuit, X = 12 Ω and R = 18 Ω. The jockey J is in the position of balance. If R is made 8Ω, through what distance will the jockey J have to be moved to obtain balance?
In the meter bridge shown, the resistor R has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. Neglecting the variation in other resistors, when current is passed for some time in the circuit, the balance point should shift towards:
If the galvanometer shows null deflection in the given figure then the value of Y is:
The circuit shown in the figure, current through the 5 Ω resistor is:
