WHAT IS THE CURRENT IF 12 OHM AND 6 OHM RESISTORS ARE CONNECTED PARALLEL AND 10 V POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE IS APPLIED? |
|
Answer» ▪ Two resistors of resistance 12Ω and 6Ω are CONNECTED in parallel.▪ PD across connection = 10VTo FIND :▪ Current FLOW in the circuit.Concept :✏ First we have to find out equivalent resistance of the parallel connection.✏ After that, we can easily CALCULATE current flow in the circuit with the help of ohm's law.Calculation :☢ Equivalent resistance :→ 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2→ 1/Rp = 1/12 + 1/6→ 1/Rp = (1+2)/12→ Rp = 12/3→ Rp = 4Ω☢ Current flow in the circuit :→ V = I × Rp→ 10 = I × 4→ I = 10/4→ I = 2.5A |
