Three 5 ohms resistors connected in parallel have a potential difference of 60v. applied across the combination. The current in each resistor is
A
4A
B
36A
C
12A
D
24A
E
10A
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
since they are in parallel, the same voltage across
= I1 = I2 = I3
I1 = \(\frac{V}{R_1}\)
\(\frac{60}{5}\) = 12A
