Question

Posting this again because I never received a correct answer.

What is the current in the 10-? resistance in the circuit shown in the figure below?

I have narrowed it down to these choices.

                    a) 0.59 A                 

                    b) 11 A
                

                    c) 5.3 A
                

Explanation / Answer

Find Req = 2 + 1/(1/4 + 1/6 + 1/10) = 3.935 Ohm

Total current i = 12 / 3.935 = 3.049 A

now, current in 10 Ohm = 3.049*(4*6/10) / 12.4 = 0.59 A
