Question

A parallel circuit has a 125 Volt battery connected with 3 resistors. R1= 20 Ω, R2= 100 Ω, and R3= 50 Ω. Find the total current of this parallel circuit.

Hint: Find Total Resistance of a parallel circuit first then use Ohms Law I = V/R

10 A


1.5 A


8 A


16 A

Answer 1

10A

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate r

1/R=1/20+1/100+1/50=2/25

r=25/2=12.5

I=125/12.5=10A
