Question

Calculate the value of current $i$, in the given electric circuit:

Answer 1

As current flowing through the 8 $\Omega$ resistor is 1 A,

The Voltage across the same is,

$V=IR=1$$\times$$8=8$V

As 2 $\Omega$ resistor is in parallel with the 8 so voltage across that is same, so current in the 2 $\Omega$ resistor is ,

$I=V/R=8/2=4A$
