Question

Diagram 5 shows an electric circuit. The voltmeter is showing 8V. calculate current flowing through the resistant R.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 A

Explanation:

Both resistors are in parallel so,

current flowing through both resistors will be same.

Therefore,

Current flowing through 4ohm resistors,

I = V/R [by ohm's law]

I = 8/4= 2 A.

Hence, current flowing through resistor R is also 2A.
