Three resistors of resistance 5 ohm, 3 o...

Three resistors of resistance 5 ohm, 3 ohm and 2 ohm are connected in series with 10 V battery. Calculate their effective resistance and the current flowing through the circuit.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`R_(1)=5Omega,R_(2)=3Omega,R_(3)=2Omega,V=10V`
`Rs=R_(1)+R_(2)+R_(3)`,
`R_(s)=5+3+2=10`, hence
`R_(s)=10Omega`
The current, `I=(V)/(R_(s))=(10)/(10)=1A`
