Question

in the circuit diagram given below three resistors R1 R2 and R3 of 5 ohm 10 ohm and 30 ohm respectively connected as shown​

Answer 1

Answer:

V=12V

R1, R2 and R3 are connected in parallel.

(a) Current through R1 = V/R1 = 12/5 = 2.4 A

Current through R2 = V/R2 = 12/10 = 1.2 A

Current through R3 = V/R2 = 12/30 = 0.4 A

(b) Total current in the circuit = 2.4 + 1.2 + 0.4 = 4 A

(c) Total resistance in the circuit=R

1/R = 1/R1+ 1/R2 + 1/R

1/R = 1/5 + 1/10 + 1/30

1/R = 10/30

R = 3 ohm

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{r} = \frac{10}{30}$

$r = 3ohm$
