Given:
- Resistance = 5Ω, 10Ω and 30Ω
- Voltage of battery = 6V
Find:
- The value of current across each resistor.
- The value of Potential difference across each resistor.
- Total current in the circuit.
- Effective resistance of the circuit.
Solution:
1)
we, know that
→ I = V/R
Current in resistor of 5Ω
⊙ I₁ = V/R
⊙ I₁ = 6/5 = 1.2 A
Current in resistor of 10Ω
⊙ I₂ = V/R
⊙ I₂ = 6/10 = 0.6 A
Current in resistor of 30Ω
⊙ I₃ = V/R
⊙ I₃ = 6/30
⊙ I₃ = 2/10 = 0.2 A
2)
● Potential difference across each resistor is 6V bcz it is a parallel circuit.
3)
we, use
☞ 1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃
☞ 1/R = 1/5 + 1/10 + 1/30
☞ 1/R = (6 + 3 + 1)/30
☞ 1/R = 10/30
☞ 1/R = 1/3
☞ R = 3Ω
Total Current (I) = V/R
→ I = 6/3
→ I = 2A
4)
Total effective resistance will be 3Ω
