two resistor of resistence 5 ohm and 10ohm respectively are to be connected to a battery of 6 volt so as to obtain a) minimum current flowing b) maximum current flowing c) calculate total current​

Answer 1

Answer:

Please mark as brainliest

Explanation:

(i) (a) For obtaining minimum current, the two resistors should be connected in parallel.

(b) For obtaining maximum current, the two resistors should be connected in series.= 1/5 + 1/10 = 3/10

====> R = 10/3 Ω

Total current in the circuit,

I = V /R = 6×3/10 = 1.8 A

(iii) For series combination,

R =  5 + 10 = 15 Ω

Total current in the circuit,

I = V /R =6/15 = 0.4 A
