Question

Find the current passing through each of the 3 resistors connected parallel to each other as shown in the figure (i1, i2, I3). Show your actions clearly.

Answer 1

I1 = ε/R1

I2 = ε/R2

I3 = ε/R3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we see that the resistors are connected in parallel. This means that the voltage passing through them is the same.

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

In this case, V which is voltage is denoted by ε.

Thus;

I1 = ε/R1

I2 = ε/R2

I3 = ε/R3
