Question

A 24V potential difference is applied across a parallel combination of four 6 ohm resistor. The current in each resistor is:
  1. 4 A
  2. 1 A
  3. 16 A
  4. 36 A

A
16 A
B
4 A
C
36 A
D
1 A
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Since the resistors are connected in parallel,the voltage across each resistor is same,i.e 24 V.
Therefore,current can now simply be calculated using the relation,
I=VRI=246.0=4.0A
