Q1:

An AC circuit has two branches in parallel. The current in one branch is 5 A. Then the current source

A must be less than 5 A

B must be more than 5 A

C may be equal or more or less than 5 A

D 5 A

ANS:C - may be equal or more or less than 5 A

5 A current may be (say) 3 + j 4A. The current in the other branch is x ± jy. The total current is (3 + x) + (4 ± y). This may be 5A or more or less.
