Question

What is the current in a parallel circuit which has two resistors
(17.2 ohms and 22.4 ohms) and a power source of 6.0 volts?

a) 0.30 amps
b) 9.8 amps
c) 0.61 amps
d) 1.2 amps

Answer 1

do you need calculations too or just the answers ?

Answer 2

i need the answer but a explanation would be nice.

Answer 3

first find the equivalent resistance of the parallel arrangement and then use ohm's law

Answer 4

when R1 and R2 are connected in parallel,the equivalent resistance Req is given by and ohm's law is V=IR
