Required Answer:-
GiveN:
- A battery with voltage 2V
- Three 5 ohms, 15 ohms and 25 ohms resistors connected in parallel.
To FinD:
- Current flowing through the 5 ohms resistor?
Step-by-Step Explanation:
First we need to find the equivalent resistance to find the current flowing through the wire
➛1/Req. = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
➛1/Req. = 1/5 + 1/15 + 1/25
➛1/Req. = 15 + 5 + 3/75
➛1/Req. = 23/75
➛Req. = 75/23 ohms
Now using the ohm's law: V = IR
➛2V = I × 75/23 ohms
➛I = 2 × 23 / 75 A
➛I = 46/75 A
In parallel combination, the current divides according to the Resistance of each resistors.
Current through 5 ohms resistor
= 46/75 ÷ 5 A
= 46/375 A
= 0.12267 A (approx.)
Therefore:
- The current flowing through the 5 ohm resistor is 0.12267 A
