Question

in the circuit diagram even in suppose the resistor R1 R2 and R3 have the value of 5 ohm 10 ohm 30 ohm respectively which have been connected to a battery of 12 volt calculate the current through the each resistor be the total current in the circuit and see the total circuit resistance ​

Answer 1

Given :

Three identical resistors of resistances 5Ω, 10Ω and 30Ω are connected with a battery of 12V$.$

To Find :

We have to find current through the each resistor and equivalent resistance of circuit$.$

SoluTion :

➝ Equivalent resistance of series connection is given by

• R = R1 + R2 + R3

➝ We know that, Equal current flow through each resistor in series connection.

➝ As per ohm's law, Current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

• V = IR

◈ Equivalent resistance :

⇒ Req = R1 + R2 + R3

⇒ Req = 5 + 10 + 30

⇒ Req = 45Ω

◈ Current flow in circuit :

⇒ V = IReq

⇒ 12 = I × 45

⇒ I = 0.27A

፨ Therefore, 0.27A current will flow through each resistor.
