उत्तर
(a) The resistors of 2 Ω and 3 Ω are connected in series.
Therefore their combined resistance, R = R1 + R2
Here, R1=2 Ω
R2=3 Ω
So, the combined resistance, R = 2 Ω + 3 Ω
R = 5 Ω
(b) The current, I in the circuit can be calculated as:
V = IR
or I = 10 / 5 = 2 At)=R2R1+R2v(t)
(c) The p.d. across the 2 Ω resistor is:
V = IR
or V = `2xx2` = 4 V
(d) The p.d. across the 3 Ω resistor:
V = IR
or V = 2 x 3
or V = 6 V
