Question

In the circuit diagram given below the current flowing across 5 ohm resistor is 1 amp. find the current flowing through the other two resistor.​

Answer 1

$\huge\sf{\purple{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}$

In the given figure, 5 Ohm, 4 Ohm and 10 Ohm resistors are in parallel. In parallel combination, voltage across each resistor is same.

It is given that,

R = 5 ohm

I = 1A

V = IR

= 5V

Current across 4 ohm resistor I =

$\frac{5}{4} A=1.25 A$

Current across 10 ohm resistor I=

$\frac{5}{10} A= 0.5 A$

Answer 2

Answer:

In the given figure, 5Ω,4Ωand10Ω resistors are in parallel. In parallel combination, voltage across each resistor is same.

It is given that,

R=5Ω

I=1A

V=IR

=5V

Current across 4Ω resistor I=

4

5

A=1.25A

Current across 10Ω resistor I=

10

5

=0.5A
