Determine the potential difference. V across the parallel resistors
-
A.
2.0V
-
B.
2.3V
-
C.
3.0V
-
D.
0.7V
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
6Ω and 4Ω are parallel.
\(\frac{1}{R_T}\) = \(\frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}\)
\(\frac{1}{R_T}\) = \(\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{4}\)
\(R_T\) = \(\frac{12}{5}\) = 0.97Ω
V = IR
= 0.97 x 2.4 = 2.3V
