Question

A current of 16 amp divids between two branches in parallel of resistance 8 ohm and 12 ohm .The current in each branch is

Answer 1

Answer:

In the 8 ohm it is 48/5

And in 12 ohm it is 32/5

Explanation:

We can find this by using ration method.

Answer 2

Answer:

current through 8ohm is76.8/8= 9.6 and through 12 ohm is6.4.

Explanation:

Total resistance = 1/8+1/12=10/48

R = 4.8

I = 16

V = 4.8 × 16= 76.8

So current through 8ohm is76.8/8= 9.6 and through 12 ohm is6.4.
