In the circuit diagram.
Find
(i) total resistance
(ii) current shown by the ammeter A.
Each point: 1.5 Mark
1. Resistance of 2Ω and 3Ω in series
RA=r1+r2 , 2+3=5
resultant in parallel
R=5×55+5=2510=2.5
2. Given:
Potential difference, V = 4 V
Circuit resistance R= 2.5Ω
Circuit current, I =?:
From Ohm's law,
I = VR
= 42.5 = 1.6 A
So, Ammeter reads 1.6 A current.
