Description : What is the total current is V is 10 Volts R1 is 500 Ohms and R2 is 1500 ohms?
Last Answer : We need to find R equivalent at first then divide V from it to find the total current.Case 1: If resistances are connected in series.Then, R(eq.) = R1 + R2 = 500 + 1500 = 2000 ohmSo, Total current, I = V/R(eq.) = ... (500 + 1500) = 400 ohmSo, Total current, I = V/R(eq.) = 10/400 = 1/40 or 0.025 A.
