Question

Find the current supplied by the cell in the circuit
shown in Figure 4.E3.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here all the resistors are in parallel and the equivalent network is shown in figure.

The equivalent resistance, R

eq

=(1/8+1/6+1/4+1/12)

−1

=(15/24)

−1

=8/5Ω

The current supplied by battery is I=

R

eq

V
