    Question

    Find the current I3.

    A.

    2.5 A

    B.

    1.5 A

    C.

    3.84 A

    D.

    1 A

    Correct option is C

    Using Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL):
    The relationship between the currents is given as: ​I2=I3I1I_2 = I_3 - I_1

    ​​By applying Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) in the left loop:
    The equation becomes: 103I12I3=010 - 3I_1 - 2I_3 = 0

    3I1+2I3=10... (a)3I_1 + 2I_3 = 10 \quad \text{... (a)}

    ​​By applying Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) in the right loop:
    The equation becomes: 4I2+2I3=204I_2 + 2I_3 = 20

    4(I3I1)+2I3=204(I_3 - I_1) + 2I_3 = 20

    4I1+6I3=20... (b)-4I_1 + 6I_3 = 20 \quad \text{... (b)}​       ​

    Solving equations (a) and (b), the currents are:

    I1=0.769 A, I2=3.071 A, I3=3.84 AI_1 = 0.769 \, \text{A}, \, I_2 = 3.071 \, \text{A}, \, I_3 = 3.84 \, \text{A}
