Question
Find the currents through the three reaiators shown in figure.
✓
Answer
- Current through (1) $4\Omega$ resistor = 0
- Current through (2) and (3)
net E = 4V - 2V = 2V
(2) and (3) are in series,
$\text{R}_\text{eff}=4+6=10\Omega$
$\text{i}=\frac{2}{10}=0.2\text{A}$
Current through (2) and (3) are 0.2A.
