Question

Please provide the answer for question 24

Answer 1

Answer:

i) Total resistance in the circuit is 12 ohms.

ii) Total current flowing in the circuit is 1/2 Ampere or 0.5 Ampere.

iii) The potential difference across 7.2 ohm resistance is 3.6 volt.

iv) Current in 8 ohm resistor is 0.3 Ampere.

Current in 12 ohm resistor is 0.2 Ampere.

Explanation:

Let 7.2 ohm resistor be R3.

8 ohm resistor be R1.

12 ohm resistor be R2.

R1 and R2 are in parallel and R3 in series with R1 and R2.

Hence,

i) Total resistance in the circuit is 12 ohms.

ii) Total current flowing in the circuit is 1/2 Ampere or 0.5 Ampere.

iii) The potential difference across 7.2 ohm resistance is 3.6

.iv) Current in 8 ohm resistor is 0.3 Ampere.

And

Current in 12 ohm resistor is 0.2 Ampere
