MCQ
A $24V$ potential difference is applied across a parallel combination of four $6\Omega$ resistor. The current in each resistor is :
  • A
    $1A$
  • $4A$
  • C
    $16A$
  • D
    $36A$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$4A$
Since the resistors are connected in parallel,the voltage across each resistor is the same ,i.e $24V.$
Therefore, current in each resistor can now simply be calculated using the relation,
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{24}{6.0}=4.0\text{ A}$
