Question:

Three resistors of 2 Ohms, 2 Ohms and 1 Ohm are connected in parallel combination. The driving voltage source is 5 V. What is the current flowing through the circuit?

Options:

10 A

20 A

0.5 A

5 A

Correct Answer:

10 A

Explanation:

2 Ohms || 2 Ohms = 1 Ohms

1 Ohms || 1 Ohms = 0.5 Ohms

I = V/R = 5 V / 0.5 Ohms = 10 A
