Question

In the circuit shown below. calculate:
(a) Total resistance in the arm CE.
(b) Total current drawn from the battery.
(c) Current in each arm, ie.. AB and CE of the circuit​

Answer 1

Answer:

a=4 ohm

b=1 amperes

c=0.5 amperes

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) Total current in arm CE

     ( In Series ) R = R1 + R2

                            = 2 Ω+ 4Ω = 6 Ω

(B) Total current

     I = I1 + I2

       = V/R1 + V/R2

        =3/6 + 3/6 = 1/2+1/2 = 1A

(C) Current in each = 1/2a
