Homework Statement
I came across this questions in one of the online entrance tests,so i do not remember the exact values,I remembered the arrangement.
________________
|... |...|
|... A...C
2v...|--------| (Please ignore the dots,they are to prevent figure from getting
|....B...D distorted)
|________|_______|
A,B,C,D are resistances connected to a 2v battery.Rest everything are ideal wires.We have to find the current through the connecting wire(-----).
Let A-20ohms,B-15ohm,C-5ohms,D-10ohms
Homework Equations
V=I*R
The Attempt at a Solution
The current flowing in ---- wire will be the difference in potential across it divided by the resistance.But since it is ideal it has 0 resistance which gives infinite current.I am totally confused.(The answer is a finite value.)
