  • C
    12.5A
  • D
    12.3A

Answer

  1. 12.5A

Explanation:

Here, we can apply Kirchhoff’s loop rule in closed loops ADCBA, AEFBA, AHGBA, and AIJBA. Thus, we get

20 + 10 – 5I1 = 0 → I1 = 6A

-5 + 20 – 15I2 = 0 → I2 = 1A

25 + 20 – 10I3 = 0 → I3 = 4.5A

-15 + 20 – 5I4 = 0 → I4 = 1A

Therefore, the current flowing through the 20V cell = 6 + 1 + 4.5 + 1 = 12.5A
