Answer 2

R = 15 Ω

I = 0.8 Ampere

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure, we can say that ;

R1 and R2 are in the series, for series we add resistance simply as shown below,

R1 + R2 = ( 10 + 20 ) Ω

⇒ R1 + R2 = 30 Ω

And, Resistance R3 and R4 are in the series, therefore

R3 + R4 = ( 5 + 25 ) Ω

⇒ R3 + R4 = 30 Ω

Now, R1 + R2 and R3 + R4 are parallel resistors,

⇒ 1 / 30 + 1 / 30

⇒ 1 + 1 / 30

⇒ 2 / 30

⇒ 1 / 15

Hence, total resistance = 15 Ω

We know that,

V = IR

[ ∵ where, V = volt, I = current, R = resistance]

⇒ 12 = I * 15

⇒ I = 12 / 15

⇒ I = 0.8 Ampere

Hence, total resistance is 15 Ω and total current flowing is 0.8 Ampere.
