A possible distinction 6V is applied in parallel to two resistors of 3 and 6 ohms. Calculate: a) the total amount of resistance b) the flow of current in the main circuit
A possible distinction 6V is applied in parallel to two resistors of 3 and 6 ohms. Calculate: a) the total amount of resistance b) the flow of current in the main circuit

Answer:

 

Given,

 

V = 6V

 

R1 = 3 Ω

 

R2 = 6 Ω

 

a) Resistance in combination,

 

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/3 + 1/6 = ½

 

R2 = 2

 

b) Current flowing in the main circuit, I = V/R = 6/2 = 3A
