<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>
Three identical resistors of resistances 5Ω, 10Ω and 30Ω are connected with a battery of 12V
We have to find current through the each resistor and equivalent resistance of circuit
➝ Equivalent resistance of series connection is given by
- <u>R = R1 + R2 + R3</u>
➝ 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.
- <u>V = IR</u>
◈ <u>Equivalent resistance</u> :
⇒ Req = R1 + R2 + R3
⇒ Req = 5 + 10 + 30
⇒ <u>Req = 45Ω</u>
◈ <u>Current flow in circuit</u> :
⇒ V = IReq
⇒ 12 = I × 45
⇒ <u>I = 0.27A</u>
፨ Therefore, 0.27A current will flow through each resistor.
