Question

Two resistors of resistance 4 ohmand 6 ohm are
connected in parallel to a cell to draw current 0.5 A
from the cell.
(a) Draw a labelled diagram of the arrangment.
(b) Calculate the current in each resistor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b)1/req=1/4+1/6

=3+2/12

=5/12

req=12/5

req=2.4ohm

we know that

v=ir

v=0.5×2.4

v=12volt

then

v=ir

I=v/r

I=12/2.4

I=120/24

I=5amper

I hope you understand
