MCQ
In the circuit shown here, at which point is the current least?

  • A
    P
  • B
    Q
  • C
    R
  • D
    S

Answer

  1. Q

Explanation:

Current flowing through S is the combined current from Q and R.

Current flowing through S is the same as the current from through P.

Current follows the path of least resistance.

Hence more current would flow through the 4ohm resistor.
