AIIMS 2018 Physics Current and Resistance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Refer to the circuit diagram. Calculate the current flowing from P₂ to P₁.

Question diagram
A

0.27 Å P₂ to P₁

B

0.03 Å P₁ to P₂

C

0.03 Å P₂ to P₁

D

0.27 Å P₁ to P₂

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The current flowing from P₂ to P₁ is 0.03 A, as determined by applying Ohm's Law (V = IR) to the given circuit parameters, which indicates that the voltage drop across the resistor leads to this specific current direction and magnitude. Option A (0.27 A P₂ to P₁) is incorrect because it overestimates the current based on the circuit's resistance and voltage. Options B and D are also incorrect as they suggest a current flow in the opposite direction, which contradicts the established flow from P₂ to P₁ based on the circuit analysis. Understanding the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is crucial for analyzing electrical circuits effectively.
