Question
Find the current in each resistor in the circuit shown below:
✓
Answer
R1 = 6 ohm, R2 = 4 ohm V = 24V
The two resistances are connected in parallel.
Current across $\text{R}_1=\text{I}_1=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}_1}=\frac{24}{6}=4\text{amp}$
Current across $\text{R}_2=\text{I}_2=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}_2}=\frac{24}{4}=6\ \text{amp}$
