In parallel, a 4 ohm coil and a 2 ohm coil are connected. What is the sum of their resistance? The coils receive a total current of 3A. What is the current that flows through the two coils?

Answer:

 

In parallel, 4 and 2 coils are connected.

 

As a result, the total resistance, R

 

1/R = ¼ + ½ = ¾

 

R = ¾ Ω

 

Total current,, I = V/R = 3 Ω

 

V/(4/3) = 3

 

V = 4V

 

Current through 2 Ω coil = V/2 = 4/2 = 2 A
