Question

33. Resistors of 2ohm& 4ohmare connected in parallel with a battery of 10V.
Calculate the total resistance and current through each resistor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

To solve this type of questions, first draw the circuit diagram.

Then find out the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

Then find out the current through the whole circuit.

Finally you should find out the potential drop along each resistor and find out the current in each of the resistor.

See the attached photo, I have solved the entire question.

The answer is:

current in 2 ohm resistor is 5 amperes.

current in 4 ohm resistor is 5/2 amperes.
