Answer»

Solution :

Given:

✏ Two resistors of resistance 2Ω and 3Ω are connected in parallel with p.d. of 2V

To Find:

  • Net CURRENT passing through the circuit
  • Current passing through both resistors

Formula:

→ Formula of equivalent resistance in parallel connection is given by...

\bigstar \:  \boxed{ \pink{ \tt{ \large{ \dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}  =  \dfrac{1}{R_1}  +  \dfrac{1}{R_2}}}}}  \:  \bigstar

→ As PER OHM's law relation between POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE, current flow and resistance is given by...

\bigstar \:  \boxed{ \tt{ \green{ \large{V = I \times R}}}} \:  \bigstar

Calculation:

_________________________________

  • Equivalent resistance

\implies \sf \:  \dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}  =  \dfrac{1}{2}  +  \dfrac{1}{3}  \\  \\  \implies \sf \:  \frac{1}{R_{eq}}  =  \dfrac{3 + 2}{6}  \\  \\  \implies \sf \:  \boxed{ \tt{ \red{ \large{R_{eq} =  \frac{6}{5}  \:  \Omega}}}} \:  \orange{ \bigstar}

_________________________________

  • Net current passing in the circuit

\mapsto \sf \: V = I_{net} \times R_{eq} \\  \\  \mapsto \sf \: 2 = I_{net}  \times  \dfrac{6}{5}  \\  \\  \mapsto \sf \: I_{net} =  \dfrac{5 \times 2}{6}  \\  \\  \mapsto \sf \: I_{net} =  \dfrac{10}{6}  \\  \\  \mapsto \:  \boxed{ \tt{ \blue{ \large{I_{net} = 1.67 \: A}}}} \:  \orange{ \bigstar}

_________________________________

  • Current in 2Ω resistor

\dashrightarrow \sf \: V = I \times R \\  \\  \dashrightarrow \sf \: 2 = I \times 2 \\  \\  \dashrightarrow \: \boxed{ \tt{ \purple{ \large{I = 1 \: A}}}} \:  \orange{ \bigstar}

_________________________________

  • Current in 3Ω resistor

\leadsto \sf \: V = I' \times R \\  \\  \leadsto \sf \: 2 = I' \times 3 \\  \\  \leadsto \boxed{ \tt{ \large{ \gray{I' = 0.67 \: A}}}} \:  \orange{ \bigstar}
