In the figure shown, the capacity of the condenser C is 2μF. The current in 2Ω resistor in steady state: Image related to
9 A
0.9 A
1/9 A
1/0.9 A

Solution:

In steady state no current flows through the capacitor so, current through 4 ohm resistor will be zero.

In absence of 4 ohm resistor, total resistance of circuit is (1.2+2.8)= 4 ohm.

Total current given by battery = 6/4=1.5 Ampere.

In parallel combination current divides in reverse ratio of resistors: (3/5)*1.5= 0.9 Ampere
