Let ' R be their equivalent resistance of the 4Ω and 6Ω resistors connected in parallel
Then, `1/R=1/4+1/6=(3+2)/12=5/12Ω`
Or, `R=12/5=2.4Ω`

Several electric bulbs designed to be used on a 220 V electric supply line are rated 10 W. How many lamps can be connected in parallel with each other across the two wires of 220 V line if the maximum allowable current is 5 A?
An electric heater which is connected to a 220 V supply line has two resistance coils A and B of 24 Ω resistance each. These coils can be used separately (one at a time), in series or in parallel. Calculate the current drawn when:
(a) only one coil A is used.
(b) coils A and B are used in series.
(c) coils A and B are uses in parallel.
