Question

a parallel circuit has two resistors with values r1 = 3.00 ω and r2 = 0.250 ω. if the potential of the circuit is 5.00 v, what is the current through r1? 1.67 a 20.0 a 1.54 a 21.7 a save for later submit answer 27.2 multiloop circuits

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Ohm's law

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

Step2: Identify values for $V$ and $R_1$

$V = 5.00\ V$, $R_1=3.00\ \Omega$

Step3: Calculate current through $R_1$

$I_1=\frac{V}{R_1}=\frac{5.00}{3.00}\approx1.67\ A$

Answer:

1.67 A
