Question

Study the diagram given below and answer the following questions,

(a) What is the equivalent resistance of the given circuit?
(b) Find the amount of current flowing through each resistor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

AS THE CIRCUIT IS CONNECTED IN PARALLEL SO EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE WILL BE

LET R1 = 5 OHM

LET R2 = 10 OHM

LET R3 = 30 OHM

SO RESISTANCE = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/ R3

=1/5 + 1/10 + 1/30

= 6+3+1/30 = 10/30 = 1/3 OHM

CURRENT FLOWING THROUGH EACH RESISTORS = I = V/R

I = 6/5 AMPERE CURRENT IN FIRST RESISTOR.

I = V/R

= 6/10 = 3/5 AMPERE SECOND RESISTOR

I = V/R

= 6/30 = 1/5 AMPERE THIRD RESISTOR
