Three resistors of 3 Omega ,6 Omega and ...

Three resistors of `3 Omega ,6 Omega and 9 Omega ` are connected in parallel. A potential difference of 18 V is maintained across the combination. Find the current in each resistor.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`I = V/R`
`I_(1) = (18)/(3) = 6 A`
`I_(2) = (18)/(6) = 3A`
`I_(1) = (18)/(9) = 2A`
