56. A battery of 15V and of negligible internal resistance is connected to a rheostat XZ of 1kΩ. the
resistance of YZ part is 500Ω. The reading of the ammeter (in Amperes) will be

Ans. 0.01
Sol: Current flowing in the circuit
E 15
i= = = 0.02A
R1 500 + 250
At junction Y this current is divided equally in parts
reading of ammeter = 0.01A

57. In the circuit shown, the potential difference between the points A and B is 16V. Then the
current (in Amperes) passing through 2Ω resistance will be

Ans. 3.5
Sol: Hence VA − VB = 16V
Now imagining the current division as follows, it will be easy to approach
So in main loop through 2Ω, 4i1 + 2(i1 + i2 ) − 3 + 4i1 = 16 − − − − − −(i)

in the closed loop, 9 − i2 − 2(i1 + i2 ) = 0 − − − − − −(ii)

by solving (i) and (ii)

i1 = 2 A and i2 = 2A

So current through 2Ω is 3.5 A
