Question 37
Current ElectricityThree 4Ω resistors connected in parallel have a potential difference of 16 V applied across them. What is the total current in the circuit?
- A.12 A
- B.8A
- C.10 A
- D.14 A
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (12 A)
Explanation
Three 4 Ω resistors in parallel give 4/3 Ω. I = V/R = 16 ÷ (4/3) = 12 A (4 A through each resistor).
