Three resistors of 2 – ohm resistance are connected in delta.

Inside
the delta another three 2-ohm resistors are connected in wye. Six
batteries of negligible internal resistance and of different emf are
inserted into each other branch. Using an ammeter, the current in
one of the delta branch was found out to be a 3 A. If a 4-ohm
resistance is inserted into that branch, what will be the new
current?

A. 2 A
B. 1.75 A
C. 1.5 A
D. 1.25 A
 Ry = Wye RL = 2 ohms
Rd = Delta IL = 3 A

Ro = Ry + (2+Ry)/ 2 Using Thevenin’s Equations If 1 4 ohms resistor is

Ry = Rd/3 IL = Eo/ (Ro+RL) inserted
Ry = 2/3 Eo = IL x ( Ro + RL) RL = 2 + 4
Ro = (2/ 3) + ( 2+2/3) /2 Eo = 3 x ( 2+2) RL = 6 ohms
R0 = 2ohms Eo = 12 V IL = Eo/ (Ro+RL)
IL = 12 / ( 2 + 6 )
IL = 1.5 A. Letter C
