Question

can anyone please help me with this,can u please tell me how can we take it as parallel combination while finding the current in the given circuit​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5A

Explanation:

The first upper two resistances of each 2 ohms resistances are connected in series. Therefore, sum of these two resistances will be the simple sum of two.

2ohms + 2 ohm = 4 ohms.

Now, this 4 ohms resistance is connected parallel with the lower 2 ohms resistance.  Calculate the equivalent resistance of 4ohms and 2 ohms which is in parallel.

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{2} \\R = \frac{2+4}{4*2} =\frac{4}{3}$

Use the ohm's law to calculate the current.

V = IR

I =V/R =2V/(4/3) = 1.5A
