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
