As we learnt in

In closed loop -

-i_{1}}R_{1} + i_{2}}R_{2} -E_{1}-i_{3}}R_{3}+E_{2}+E_{3}-i_{4}}R_{4}=0

- wherein

 

 

Applying Kirchhoff’s law for the loops

AP_{2}P_{1}CA\: \: and \: \: P_{2}BDP_{1}P_{2}\: \: one \: \: gets

-10y-2x+5=0

\Rightarrow 2x+10y=5\cdots \cdots \cdots \cdots (i)

+2-1(x-y)+10.y=0

+x-11y=2\cdots \cdots \cdots \cdots (ii)

2x-22y= 4\cdots \cdots \cdots \cdots (iii)=(ii)\times 2

(i)-(iii)gives\ 32 y=1

\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{32}A= 0.03A from P_{2}\: \: to\: \: P_{1}


Option 1)

0.27 A\: \: P_{1}\: \: to\: \: P_{2}

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

0.27 A\: \: P_{2}\: \: to\: \: P_{1}

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

0.03 A\: \: P_{1}\: \: to\: \: P_{2}

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

0.03 A\: \: P_{2}\: \: to\: \: P_{1}

This option is correct.
