Question

3 resistors with values 6 ohm each are parallel with 24V supply, calculate the total resistance, and voltage drop along each branch?

Answer 1

Total equivalent resistance of the circuit due to parallel combination of 3 resistors each of `3Omega` is

`R=1/(1/6+1/6+1/6)=1/(3/6)=2Omega`

Main current in the circuit

`I="Voltage supplied"/R=24/2=12A`

Current strength through each branch will be

`i=24/6A=4A`

Voltage drop along each branch will be `=24V`
