| In a parallel circuit having two resistance 4Ω and 6Ω connected across a DC voltage of 12 V, the current through the 4 Ω resistance is:
A. 5 A
B. 2 A
C. 3 A
D. 1 A
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is: C
SOLUTION
The circuit is drawn as:
Since the voltage across the resistance in parallel will be equal, the current through the 4 Ω resistance will be:
\(I=\frac{12}{4}=3~A\)
