Question

Q1. If two resistors of resistances 2 ohm and 4 ohm are connected in parallel
and a potential difference of 12 volt is applied across the combination. Find
the current through each resistor. (3 marks)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

In a parallel circuit the potential differences are same in both the resistors

Voltage Drop=Current×Resistance

Let the current be I  

2

​  

 

⇒I×2=I  

2

​  

×4

I  2 =  2

I

So the current through 4Ω resistor is  

2

I
