To solve the problem of finding the current in each resistor when two resistors of 4Ω and 6Ω are connected in parallel to a cell drawing a total current of 0.5 A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Equivalent Resistance For resistors in parallel, the formula for equivalent resistance (R_eq) is given by: \[ \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} \] ...
