Observe the given circuit:

Calculate the total resistance in the circuit and the total current flowing in the circuit.

Explanation

Given, `RI=2Omega,R2=4Omega,R3=4Omega,R4=5Omega,R_(P)=?,V=6V`.
In Parallel connection,
`1/R_(p)=1/R_(1)+1/R_(2)+1/R_(3)rArr1/R_(p)=1/2+1/4+1/4`
= `(2+1+1)/4=4/4=1rArrR_(P)=1Omega`.
Total resistance in the circuit
`R=R_(P)+R4=1+5=6Omega`
`therefore` Current I = `V/R=6/6=1A`.
