Question

Resistances of 2Ω, 4Ω, 6Ω and a 24V source are all in parallel. Current in the 2Ω 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 resistor is 24V. I = V/R = 24/2 = 12A.
