Three 5 Ohm resistors are connected in parallel to a 9 Volt power supply. What is the current through each resistor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

I₁ = I₂ = I₃ = 12 A

Explanation:

Since the resistors are connected in parallel across a battery. Hence, the voltage across each of them will be the same, which will be equal to the voltage of the power supply. Since each resistor has the same resistance of 5 Ω. Therefore. the current across each resistor will also be the same. We can easily calculate these current values by the use of Ohm's Law, as follows:

[tex]V = IR\\I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{3}=\frac{V}{R} \\\\I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{3}=\frac{9\ Volt}{5 \Omega}\\\\[/tex]

I₁ = I₂ = I₃ = 12 A
