Q.
A current of 2A flows in an electric circuit as shown in figure. The potential difference$(V_{R} - V_{S})$, in volts( $V_{R} - V_{S}$ are potentials at R and S respectively) is
A) -4
B) +2
C) +4
D) -2
Explanation
(c) Current through each arm
PRQ and PSQ=1A
$V_{p} - V_{R} = 3v$
$V_{p} - V_{s} = 7V$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$V_{R} - V_{s} = + 4V$
