Answer to Question #263508 in Physics for armando

Question

• A 10Ω resistor is connected in parallel to 32Ω resistor and a voltage source of 24V. Find the effective resistance and total current provided in the circuit. Determine the current in each of the resistors.

Answer 1

$R=10\cdot32/(10+32)=7.62\ (\Omega)$

$I=24/7.62=3.15\ (A)$

$I_1=24/10=2.4\ (A)$

$I_2=24/32=0.75\ (A)$
