Find the value of equivalent resistance and total current flowing into the circuit.

Open in App

Solution

Equivalent resistance

$R = 4 + \frac{12 \times 12}{12 + 12} = 10 Ω$

Current $I = \frac{V}{R}$

$I = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5 A$

Thus equivalent resistance is $10 Ω$ and current is $0.5 A$ .

Find the value of equivalent resistance and total current flowing into the circuit.

Equivalent resistance R=4+12×1212+12=10Ω Current I=VR I=510=0.5A Thus equivalent resistance is 10Ω and current is 0.5A.

Equivalent resistance

$R = 4 + \frac{12 \times 12}{12 + 12} = 10 Ω$

Current $I = \frac{V}{R}$

$I = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5 A$

Thus equivalent resistance is $10 Ω$ and current is $0.5 A$ .
