Answer:this time you have given the picture but not the question
Explanation:what exactly is the question please
Example-2:In the given fig. the resistors ,R1 =5 Ω, R2=10 Ω, R3=30 Ω have been connected to a battery of 12V . Calculate-
(b) the current through each resistor and
(c) the total current in the circuit.
Answer :
b). The current through each resistor
Battery = 12v
resistors of 5 ohm, 10 ohm, 30 ohm are connected in series to battery
R1 = 5 ohm
R2 = 10 ohm
R3 = 30 ohm
as all are connect in series effective resistance would be
Reff = R1 + R2 + R3
= 5 + 10 + 30
= 45 HMS
By ohms law : V = IR
I = V/R
= 12/45
= 0.26
Now, I ( 5 ohm) = 12/5 = 2.4 A -----(1)
I ( 10 ohm) = 12/10 = 1.2 A -------(2)
I ( 30 ohm) = 12/30 = 0.4 A -------(3)
As resistors are connected in series : 0.4 = 1.2 = 2.4
Hence, current across 30 ohm resistor is 0.26 A
c). the total current in the circuit is (1) + (2) + (3) ( total current is the sum of current across each resistor)
So, I = 0.4 + 1.2 + 2.4
I = 4 A
