Question

In the circuit given below, the current flowing across $5$ ohm resistor is $1$ amp. Find the current flowing through the other two resistor.

Answer 1

In the given figure, $5\Omega ,4\Omega and10\Omega$ resistors are in parallel. In parallel combination, voltage across each resistor is same.

It is given that,

$R=5\Omega$

$I=1A$

$V=IR$

$=5V$

Current across $4\Omega$ resistor $I=\frac{5}{4}A=1.25A$

Current across $10\Omega$ resistor $I=\frac{5}{10}=0.5A$
