Question

What current flow (I) is associated with an input voltage of 5.0V and resistors R1 = 1.5 kiloohms and R2 = 0.5 kiloohms? Calculate this value in mA.

Answer 1

Answer:

current in series is 2.50 mA

current in parallel is 13.51 mA

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 5 V

resistors R1 = 1.5 kilo ohms

resistors R2 = 0.5 kilo ohms

to given data

current flow

solution

current flow in series is express as here

current = voltage / resistor    .................1

put here all value  in equation 1

current = 5 / (1.5 + 0.5)

current = 5 / 2.0

so current = 2.50 mA

and

current flow in parallel is express as

current = voltage / resistor   ....................2

put here all value in equation  2

current = 5 / (1/ (1/1.5 + 1/0.5))

current = 5 / 0.37

so current = 13.31 mA
