Answer:

Current in each branch will be 2.5 A

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that a circuit has three branch each has a resistance of 37.5 ohm

We have also given that a total current of 7.5 A is flows through the circuit

As we know that in parallel circuit total current is the sum of current flowing through each branch

As the resistances of each branch is same so current will also be same

As there is 3 branches in circuit so current in each branch will be
(7.5)/(3)=2.5A
