A p.d. of 6 V is applied to two resistors of 3Ω and 6Ω connected in parallel. Calculate:

(a) the combined resistance


(b) the current flowing in the main circuit


(c) the current following in the 3Ω resistor

(a) the 3 Ω and 6 Ω resistance are in parallel, hence the eq. resistance =

(b) I = V/Req = 4/2 = 2A


(c) Current Flowing in 3 Ω resistor =
