Answer» AS THE CIRCUIT IS CONNECTED IN PARALLEL SO EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE WILL BE LET R1 = 5 OHMLET R2 = 10 OHMLET R3 = 30 OHMSO RESISTANCE = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/ R3 =1/5 + 1/10 + 1/30 = 6+3+1/30 = 10/30 = 1/3 OHM CURRENT FLOWING THROUGH EACH RESISTORS = I = V/R I = 6/5 AMPERE CURRENT IN FIRST RESISTOR. I = V/R = 6/10 = 3/5 AMPERE SECOND RESISTORI = V/R = 6/30 = 1/5 AMPERE THIRD RESISTOR |
