Answer: 0.167

Explanation:

This is an applied mathematics question

Resistors in parallel ⁾/R = ¹/₁₂₀ + ¹/₁₂₀ since the resistor is two 120

Therefore , resolve into fraction now yield

¹/R = 1 + 1

-------

120

= 2/120

= ¹/₆₀

Therefore, ¹/R = ¹/₆₀

Cross multiply to get R the resistance

R = 60

From formula, V = IR where I is the current

There fore making I the subject of the formula

I = V/R

= 10/60

= 0.166

= 0.167 A, A = ampere which is the unit of current.
