Current through 4Ω and 3Ω resistor.
❒ Current flow in simple resistor circuits can be calculated by using ohm's law simply.
In order to find current in more than one branch, we will use kirchoff's voltage law (KVL) which is also called as kirchoff's second law.
Mathematically, ∑ε = ∑IR
Assume that,
Net current flow, I = I₁ + I₂
★ Loop - 1 (ABCFA)
★ Loop - 2 (CDEFC)
On solving both equations,
➠ 5 - 7I₁ = 10 + 3I₁
➠ 10I₁ = -5
➠ I₁ = -1/2
➠ I₁ = -0.5A (F → C)
[Negative sign indicates opposite direction]
From equation (1),
➠ 5 - 7I₁ - 4I₂ = 0
➠ 5 - 7(-0.5) - 4I₂ = 0
➠ 4I₂ = 5 + 3.5
➠ I₂ = 8.5/4
➠ I₂ = 2.121A
Current flow in 4Ω (b/w AF)
➛ I = I₁ + I₂
➛ I = -0.5 + 2.121
➛ I = 1.621 A
