Question

What amount of electric current will flow through the circuit if two resistors of 10 ohm and 5 ohm are connected parallely with a volt battery ?

Answer 1

when they are connected in parallel the equivalent resistance will become (10*5)/(10+5)= 50/15=8.33.

so that the total current drawn from the volt battery will be =

total voltage/equivalent resistance.

1/8.33=0.12 amps.
