Two resistors with resistances of 10 ? and 40 ? each are connected in parallel to a 16-V battery. Calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, the total circuit current
Added by Shirlin S.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit using the formula for resistors in parallel: \[ \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} \] \[ \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{40} \] \[ \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{4}{40} + \frac{1}{40} Show more…
