QJEEM25Pheb59: JEE Main 2025 Physics - Class 12 JEEM25Pheb59 Solution: What is the current through the battery in the circuit shown…

To determine the current through the battery in this circuit, we need to consider the equivalent resistance and the biasing of the components involved.

Both components in the circuit are forward-biased. Given this, the equivalent resistance ( $R_{\text{eq}}$ ) is $10 \, \Omega$ .

The current ( $i$ ) through the circuit can be calculated using Ohm's law:

$i = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{5 \, \text{V}}{10 \, \Omega} = 0.5 \, \text{A}$

Thus, the current through the battery is $0.5 \, \text{A}$ .
