Given resistors: - Resistor 1: 12 ohms - Resistor 2: 6 ohms - Resistor 3: 4 ohms Equivalent resistance formula for resistors in parallel: \[ \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} \] Substitute the values: \[ \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = Show more…

For the circuit shown find the current in each resistor and the current drawn from the 40 - $V$ source. Notice that the p.d. from $a$ to $b$ is $40 \mathrm{~V}$. Therefore, the p.d. across each resistor is $40 \mathrm{~V}$. Then, $$ I_{2}=\frac{40 \mathrm{~V}}{2.0 \Omega}=20 \mathrm{~A} \quad I_{5}=\frac{40 \mathrm{~V}}{5.0 \Omega}=8.0 \mathrm{~A} \quad I_{8}=\frac{40 \mathrm{~V}}{8.0 \Omega}=5.0 \mathrm{~A} $$ Because $I$ splits into three currents: $$ I=I_{2}+I_{5}+I_{8}=20 \mathrm{~A}+8.0 \mathrm{~A}+5.0 \mathrm{~A}=33 \mathrm{~A} $$
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
