Calculate the following for the circuit shown in the diagram below. i) Value of current through each resistor ii) total current in the circuit

Answer:

A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the electricity travels over numerous separate pathways.

i) Current through R1=6/5 = 1.2A

Current through R2 =6/10= 0.6A

Current through R3 =6/30= 0.2A

ii) Total current in the circuit =1.2+0.6+0.2= 2A
