Calculate the current flowing through each of the resistors A and B
Answers
Answer:
Total I of circuit = V/Req
Req = 2*1/2+1
= 2/3 ohm
thus, total I = 2*3/2= 3 A
current through A = 2/1= 2A
current through B = 2/2= 1 A
we can check the ans as sum of both the values shud be equal to 3A
Given:
Resistor are in parallel
R1 = 1 ohm
R2 = 2 ohm
V = 2 volt
To find:
Current in resistor 1 and 2
Solution:
In parallel, voltage is same in every branch and current is different in every branch
we know, V= IR
Let,
Consider resistor A as R1 and resistor B as R2
current in resistor R1 is I1 and current in resistor R2 is I2
1) V = I1 × R1
2 = I1 × 1
I1 = 2/1
I1 = 2 A
2) V = I2 × R2
2 = I2 × 2
I2 = 1 A
Required answer:
Therefore, current in resistor A is 2 Ampere and current in resistor B is 1 ampere
Basic points:
# In series current is same and voltage is different
# Unit of current is ampere, of voltage is volt and resistance is ohm
