Question

Calculate the current flows through the 10 2 resistor in the following circuit A.1.2A B. 0.6A C. 0.2 A D. 2.0A​

Answer 1

Given that,

Resistor 1, R₁ = 20 Ω

Resistor 2, R₂ = 10 Ω

Resistor 3, R3 = 5 Ω

To find,

Current flows through 10 Ω resistor.

Solution,

All three resistors are connected in parallel with a 6 volt battery. In parallel combination, current through each resistor is different while potential is same. So,

I= V/R

I=6/10

I=0.6 A

Hence, the current of 0.6 A is flowing through 10 ohms resistor.
