Given that,
Voltage = 10 volt
Suppose, The three resistance is connected in parallel and each resistance is 12 Ω. find the current in the electric circuit.
We need to calculate the equivalent resistance
Using formula of parallel
Put the value into the formula
We need to calculate the current in the circuit
Using ohm's law
Where, V = voltage
R = resistance
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The current in the circuit is 2.5 A
Explanation:
In the given situation two forces are working. These are:
1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE
2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg
Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy
Hence,
It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.
v =
= 592999 m/s
Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.
