Three resistors with resistance 1 Ω, 5 Ω, and 10 Ω respectively, are connected in parallel with a 20 V battery. All the resistors are ohmic in nature. Draw the circuit diagram before doing the calculation. Solve for: a) the value of the current through the battery b) the value of the current in each of the three resistors
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
1. Three resistors with resistance 1 Ω, 5 Ω, and 10 Ω respectively, are connected in parallel with a
20 V battery. All the resistors are ohmic in nature. Draw the circuit diagram before doing the calculation.
Solve for: a) the value of the current through the battery b) the value of the current in each of the three resistors.
