Question

The parallel combination of two 10 ohm resistors are placed across the battery of 24V calculate total current.​

Answer 1

Answer:24/5

Explanation: two resistor of 10 ohm are in parallel so

=1/10+1/10

=2/10

1/R=1/5

R=5

V=IR

I=24/5

Answer 2

Answer:

to find total current we should first find total resistance in the circuit.

since resistors are connected in parallel so 1/Req= 1/10+1/10= 2/10= 1/5

therefore Req= 5 ohm.

now, resistance in circuit is 5 ohm.and p.d( potential difference)= 24V

we know that- V=I×R therefore,

I= V/ R ,

I= 24/5= 4.8 Ampere
