Question

4 resistors are connected in parallel. R1=12 ohms   R2=20 ohms  R3= 63  R4=50ohms to a 34volt source of voltage. How much current flows through R3? 

Answer in Amps

Answer using standard numeric format to the hundredths place. Ex: 6.67897 would be 6.68

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since the resistors are connected in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is same. The voltage across each resistor is 34 V.
