Question

A circuit contains two 500 OHM resistors connected in parallel and is supplied with 60 VDC. What is the current in the circuit?

Answer 1

Remember Ohm's law $V=IR$. Plugging in the information gives you $60=500\times I \\ \implies I=0.12$ amperes of current.

Answer 2

Answer:

The current will be 0.24 Amperes

Explanation:

First of all we will find the equivalent resistance of the circuit. Since the resistors are connected in parallel so the resistance will be

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2

1/Rt = 1/ 500 + 1/500

Rt= 250 Ohms

Now we apply Ohm's law to the circuit

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 60/250

I = 0.24 A
