Question

If a 12v battery is connected to the arrangement of resistance , calculate 1. total effective resistance 2. total current flowing in the circuit 3. Current through each resistor.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 The 5Ω resistors are connected in series.

Therefore, their effective resistance = (5 +5) = 1OΩ

The 10Ω resistors are connected in series.

Therefore, their effective resistance = (10 + 10) = 20Ω

Explanation:

2 Total current = Total Voltage/Total equivalent resistance

= 12/6.67= 1.8A
