Question:
Three resistors of 1 ohm , 2 ohm and 5 ohm are connected in parallel connection across a battery of 6V . Find the total resistance and main current ?
Answer:
The resistors are in parallel,So the resultant resistance is-
1/R = 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3
=1/1+1/2+1/5
1/R =16/10
So, R=10/16 = 0.625 Ω
Now, using the formula V=IR
current, I= V/R (Given, potential difference= 6 V)
I=6/0.625 = 9.6 Ampere.
