Question

plz help

A resistor of 2 Ohm and another of 3 Ohm are connected in parallel, and this combination is joined in series with a 4 Ohm resistor across a battery. If the current in the 2-Ohm resistor is 2.0 A, the potential drop across the 3-Ohm resistor is 2.4 V 1.2 V 6.0 V 4.0 V 8.0 V You connect resistors of 2 Ohm, 3 Ohm, and 6 Ohm in parallel across a battery. The current through the 6-Ohm resistor is 3 A. What are the currents in the other two resistors? I1 = 9 A; I2 = 6 A I1 = 6 A; I2 = 9 A I1 = 1 A;I2= 1.5 A The answer cannot be obtained without knowing the emf of the battery. None of these is correct.

Explanation / Answer

1.) (D) 4 V

2) (A) I1 = 9A , I2 = 6A
