JEE Main 5 April 2026, Shift 1, Physics Q34

Question 34 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 9 of 25, Section A.

Refer to the figure given below. The values of I1I_1, I2I_2 and I3I_3 are ________.

The figure, in words

Diamond-shaped circuit. Left vertex has a 10 V cell in series with a 1 ohm resistor (current I1 marked) leading to the centre of a vertical wire holding two 2 ohm resistors (top and bottom). Upper-left side has a 4 ohm resistor and lower-left side a 4 ohm resistor (current I3 marked on the lower-left side). Upper-right side carries current I2; a 5 V cell sits on the right side.
