Question 172 of 380
What is the current through the battery in the circuit shown below

Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) 0.5 A
Both are forward biased
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { hence } \mathrm{R}_{\text {eq }}=10 \Omega \\
& \mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}$
