Question

Calculate the current flows through the 10 Ω resistor in the following circuit.

Options

• 1.2 A

• 0.6 A

• 0.2 A

• 2.0 A

Answer 1

0.6 A

Explanation:

In parallel, the potential differences across each resistor will remain the same.

So, current through 10 Ω resistor

I = `"V"/"R" = 6/10` = 0.6 A
