Question

What is the current through each resistor?

Suppose a parallel circuit is created using a 6 V battery and two light bulbs that each have a resistance of 3 `Omega`. The circuit is built with ideal wires.

Answer 1

`I= 2 A` at each resistor

Explanation:

In parallel circuit, voltage stays constant at each resistor and throughout the circuit, so the current at each resistor would be:

`I= V/R`

`I= (6V)/(3Omega)`

`I= 2 A` at each resistor
