Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 2):(22 V)
Concept:
When two resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series, Then the total resistance will be
RT = R1 + R2
When two resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel, Then the total resistance will be
RT = ( \(1 \over R_1\) + \(1 \over R_2\))-1
The voltage across the resistor given by ohms law
V = I R
Calculation:
The given circuit is
The equivalent resistance can be given as
RT = ( \(1\over 6 \) + \(1 \over 4\) )-1 + 2
= 4.4 Ω
The voltage across
V = IR
= 4.4 × 5
= 22 V
All voltage across the 5A source is 22 V
