Question

Ap.d. of 6 V is applied to two resistors 3 ohm and 6 ohm connected in parallel. Calculate 1) the current flowing in main circuit 2) the current flowing in 3 ohm resistor 3) the combined resistance​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 3 A

2. 2 A

3.  2 ohms

Explanation:

given the formula of resistance in parallel, you get a total resistance of 2 ohms.

using ohms law:

get the total resistance using formula I=V/R

you'll get I = 3 A

to get the resistance of 3 ohms, 6 V/ 3ohms = 2 A
