Concept explainers
The current through a branch in a linear network is 2 A when the input source voltage is 10 V. If the voltage is reduced to 1 V and the polarity is reversed, the current through the branch is:
- (a) –2 A
- (b) –0.2 A
- (c) 0.2 A
- (d) 2 A
- (e) 20 A
Choose the correct option to find the current through the branch when the polarity is reversed.
