Question

calculate the equivalent resistance for the circuit which is connected to 24 volt battery and also find the potential difference across 4 ohm and 6 ohm resistors in the circuit​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the resistors are connected in parallel,the voltage across each resistor is same,i.e 24 V.

Therefore,current can now simply be calculated using the relation,

I= RV

I= 24/6

=4.0A

Answer 2

Answer:

The equivalent resistance is $10$ ohm

Ptential difference across resistors are 4 ohm=$9.6$ volts and 6 ohm$=14.4$ volts

Explanation:

Given: 24 volt battery(V),4 and 6 ohm resistors(R1,R2)

To find: Equivalent resistance and potential difference across them

Solution:Potential difference V=24 volt

Now as the resistors are connected in series therefore,

equivalent resitance R=R1+R2

                                  R=4+6=10 ohm

Now Current flowing through the battery is I=V/R

                                                                        I=24/10=2.4 amp

Therfore potential difference across R1 is=I×R1

                                                                   =2.4×4=9.6 volts

Similarly across resitor R2 is =I×R2

                                               =2.4×6=14.4 volts
