Calculate the total resistance in the circuit and the total current flowing in
the circuit.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

ANSWER

Total current in ammeter is 0.8 A

Current through 20 ohm resistor is 0.3 A, hence the voltage across it is

V=0.3×20=6V

Current through 15 ohm resistor is

I=

R

V

=

=0.4A

Hence current through R1 is, I' = 0.8 - (0.3+0.4) = 0.1 A

Therefore,

R1=
