उत्तर
(a) The resistors of 6 Ω and 3 Ω are connected in parallel. Therefore, their combined resistance can be calculated as:
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
Here, R1 = 6 Ω ,
R2 = 3 Ω
1/R = (1/6) + (1/3 )
1/R = (1 + 2)/6
R = 6/3
R = 2 Ω
(b) Potential difference, V = IR
The potential difference across the combined resistance,
V = `(6xx2)` V
V = 12 V
(c) The potential difference across the 3 Ω resistor can be calculated as:
V = IR
V =`6xx3`= 18 V
(d) The current across the 3 Ω resistor is:
I = V/R
I = 12/3
I = 4 A
(e) The current across the 6 Ω resistor is:
I = V/R
I = 12/6
I = 2 A
