If 10Ω and 5Ω resistors are connected in parallel. It is being powered by the source of 15V. Find the following: (a) equivalent resistance (b) total current (c) current flowing through each resistor
Added by Alex B.
Step 1
Req = (R1 x R2) / (R1 + R2) Req = (10 x 5) / (10 + 5) Req = 3.33 Ω Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is 3.33 Ω. Show more…
