Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
Two resistors (Parallel)
R1 = 150 ohms
R2 = 75 ohm
Current (I) = 0.18 A
Find:
Current through R1
Computation:
Common resistance
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
1/R = 1/150 + 1/ 75
R = 50 ohms
V = IR
V = 0.18 x 50
V = 9v
So,
V = IR1
9 = I (150)
Current through R1 = 9 / 150
Current through R1 = 0.06 A
