Three 5 ohms resistors connected in parallel have a potential difference of 60v. applied across the combination. The current in each resistor is
-
A.
4A -
B.
36A -
C.
12A -
D.
24A -
E.
10A
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
since they are in parallel, the same voltage across
= I1 = I2 = I3
I1 = (frac{V}{R_1})
(frac{60}{5}) = 12A
