Question

Resistances of 2.0 Ω, 4.0 Ω, and 6.0 Ω and a 24-V emf device are all in parallel. The current in the 2.0-Ω resistor is:
Options
A 12 A
Correct Answer
B 4.0 A
C 2.4 A
D 2.0 A
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In parallel, voltage across each = 24 V. I = V/R = 24/2 = 12 A.

Hint

Parallel → same voltage. I = V/R.
