Question

In the circuit shown on the right,

calculate:

(i) Total equivalent resistance of the

circuit.

(ii) The reading of ammeter.

Question 11​

Answer 1

In the given circuit ,

6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in parallel

Rp = 3 ×6 /9

Rp=2 ohm

this 2 ohm is in parallel with 2 ohm

Rp =2×2/4

Rp = 1 ohm

this 1 ohm is in series with 5 ohm

Rs = 1+5 =6 ohm

6 ohm is in parallel with 5 ohm

Rp= 6×5/11

Rp=30/11

Rp=2.72 ohm

the ammeter shows the total current flowing through the circuit

I = V /R

I = 24/2.72

I=8.82 A
