Question

Resistances of 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 ohms and a 24 V emf device are all in parallel. The current in the 2.0 ohm 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 every resistor has the full 24V: I = 24/2.0 = 12 A.

Hint

In parallel every resistor has the full 24V: I = 24/2.0 = 12 A.
