Question

Three resistors 1ohm,3ohm,6ohm are connected to a 6v supply then what is the potential difference across the 1ohm resistor and what is the current flowing through the 3ohm resistor

Answer 1

$\large{\bf{\gray{\underline{\underline{\orange{Given:}}}}}}$

Three resistors of 1Ω, 3Ω and 6Ω are connected in parallel to a 6V battery.

$\large{\bf{\gray{\underline{\underline{\green{To\:Find:}}}}}}$

We have to find,

⟶ Pd across the 1Ω resistor.

⟶ Current flowing through 3Ω resistor.

$\large{\bf{\gray{\underline{\underline{\pink{Solution:}}}}}}$

We know that, pd across each resistor remains constant in parallel connection.

Thus, potential difference across 1Ω resistor will be 6V.

◈ Current through 3Ω resistor :

⇒ V = IR

⇒ 6 = I×3

⇒ I = 2A
