Question 23

Current Electricity

A 24 V potential difference is applied across a parallel combination of four 6-ohm resistors. The current in each resistor is

  1. A.1 A
  2. B.4 A
  3. C.16 A
  4. D.18 A
  5. E.36 A
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (4 A)

Explanation

In parallel each resistor has the full 24 V across it: I = 24/6 = 4 A.
