Question

Two resistance10ohmand20ohmare connected in parallel A battery supplies 6A Of current to the combination calculate the current in each resistor

Answer 1

R1 = 10ohm

R2 = 20 ohm

Equivalent resistance = 1/R1 + 1/ R2

=> 20/3 ohm

I = 6A

V = IR

V => 6 × 20/3 => 40V

Now, we know potential difference remains the same in parallel arrangement of resistances.

So,

Current through R1 = V/R1 => 40/10 = 4A

Current through R2 = V/R2 => 40/20 = 2A
