Question

Three 6N resistors are connected in parallel and the combination is connected to a 15 Volt
pattery. The current through any one of the resistors will be?

a2.5 Amp
B 2.0 Amp
c 5 Amp
D 10 Amp​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalent resistance is,

$6 | |6| | 6 = \frac{36}{12} | |6 = \frac{18}{9} = 2$

Current by the battery

$i = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5 \: amp$

The current through any one of the resistors will be

$\frac{7.5}{3} = 2.5 \: amp$
