    The current in a simple series circuit is 5.0 amp. When an additional resistance of 2.0 ohms is inserted, the current drops to 4.0 amp. The original resistance of the circuit in ohms was                                          [KCET 2005]

    A)         1.25                                  

    B)         8

    C)         10                                      

    D)         20

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                                             \[i\propto \frac{1}{R}\,\Rightarrow \,\frac{{{i}_{1}}}{{{i}_{2}}}=\frac{{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}}\] Þ \[\frac{5}{4}=\frac{(R+2)}{R}\]Þ R = 8W
