Three resistors are connected as shown in the diagram.
Through the resistor 5 ohm, a current of 1 ampere is flowing.
(i) What is the current through the other two resistors?
(ii) What is the p.d. across AB and across AC?
(iii) What is the total resistance

उत्तर
The resistance between B and C are in parallel. Hence the total resistance, R between B and C is given by:
RBC= [15 x 10 ] / [ 15 + 10 ] = 6 Ω ... (a)
Potential drop across B and C = IR = 1 x 6 = 6 V
Current through the 10 Ω resistor = V / R = 6 / 10 = 0.6 A
Current through the 15 Ω resistor = V / R = 6 / 15 = 0.4 A
p.d. across AB:
VAB = 5 x 1 = 5 V
p.d. across AC:
VAC = I x RAC
RAC = R + 5 = 11 Ω (see equation (a) )
VAC = 1 x 11 = 11 V
Total resistance, RAC = RBC + RAC
= 6 + 5
= 11 Î
