In a parallel circuit, if there's a power source of 120V and R1= 24ohms R2= 6ohms, the current flow through R2 is: A) 10A B) 5A C) 20A D) 25A
Added by Robert M.
Step 1
So, the voltage across R2 is also 120V. The formula to calculate the current (I) is I = V/R. So, the current through R2 is I = 120V / 6ohms = 20A. Show more…
