Question

Find the current i in:

Answer 1

Answer:

I = 24 A

Explanation:

This is Parallel Circuit and it is the first principle of parallel circuit that voltage will be equal in all components in the circuit

It includes 10 resistors Therefore the voltage across,

R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = R5 = R6 = R7 = R8 = R9 = R10 = voltage in battery

Ohm's Law

We will apply Ohm's Law to each resistor to find its current because we know the voltage across each resistor is 12 V  and the resistance of each resistor is 5Ω

I (R1) = E (R1) / R1

I (R1) = 12v / 5Ω

I (R1) = 2.4 A

The value resistance E of all resistors are same therefore by applying the formula above the value of current in all resistors will be 2.4 A

The Total current in the circuit will be

I (total) = I (1) + I (2) + I (3) + I (4) + I (5) + I (6) + I (7) + I (8) + I (9) + I (10)

I (total) = 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4

I (total) = 24 A
