AIPMT PRELIMS 2008 Physics Ohm's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In the circuit shown, the current through the 4Ω resistor is 1 amp when the points P and M are connected to a D.C. voltage source. The potential difference between the points M and N is -

Question diagram
A

0.5 volt

B

3.2 volt

C

1.5 volt

D

1.0 volt

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using Ω's law, V = IR, the potential difference across the 4Ω resistor is 4V. The potential difference across the 0.5Ω resistor is 0.5V, hence the potential difference between M and N is 0.5V.
