Question 1 Report

Three cells each of emf, 1.0 V, and internal resistance, \(2\,\Omega\), are connected in parallel across a \(3\,\Omega\) resistor. Determine the current in the resistor.

Answer Details

Given Data: Emf = 1v, r = 2 ohms, R = 3 ohms, I = ?

3 resistance in parallel = 1r1 + 1r2
 + 1r3 3

1rT= 12 1 2  + 12 1 2  + 12 1 2

1rT = 1+1+12 1 + 1 + 1 2

1rT
 = 32 3 2

cross multiply

rT
 = 23
 or 0.67

E = I(R+r) 

1 = I(3+0.67)

1 = I(3.67)

1 ÷ 3.67 = I

0.27 = I

: I ≈ 0.30A
