Question

2 resistors with resistance 5 ohm and 10ohm and connected to a 6V battery then how to connect it to get minimum current maximum current

Answer 1

Answer:

if the both resistor are connected in series,the maximum current exerted.

here,V=6,R1=5,R2=10.

by using ohms law

v=ir

I=V/R

I=6/15

I=0.4A.

when it is connected with parallel,the minimum current is exerted.

V=IR

I=V/R

I=6/Rp

I=6/103

I=1.8A.
