Question

A 10 V battery is connected in parallel to three resistors as shown in the figure. The values of the resistors are R1=15 Ω, R2=35 Ω, and R3=75 Ω. What is the current going through R2 ?

Follow-up Question

Just to clearify: In the first question I asked the currnet was found like this (I2=35 Ω/15 Ω+35 Ω+75 Ω×1.086 A), but this would not be for a parallel resistors? instead i should use 10/35 because the resistors are in parallel?

Follow-up Question

To find the current through R2 why it is not (the voltage through R2/R2). Which would then look like 10/35. Why do you have to take the (volatge across R2/ R1+R2+R3)?
