Five resistors of different resistances connected together as shown in the figure. A 12 V battery is connected in the arrangement.



Calculate:

i) the total resistance in the circuit.

ii) the total current flowing in the circuit. 


Here R1 and R2 are connected in parallel. 

1 over straight R equals 1 over R subscript 1 plus 1 over R subscript 2 space

space space space space equals 1 over 10 plus 1 over 40 space

space space space space equals 5 over 40 equals 1 over 8

rightwards double arrow space space space space space space R equals 8 capital omega 

And R3, R4 and R5 are in parallel. 

That is, 

1 over straight R to the power of apostrophe equals 1 over R subscript 3 plus 1 over R subscript 4 plus 1 over R subscript 5

space space space space space equals 1 over 30 plus 1 over 20 plus 1 over 60

space space space space space equals fraction numerator 2 plus 3 plus 1 over denominator 60 end fraction space

space space space space space equals 1 over 10 space

rightwards double arrow R apostrophe equals 10 capital omega

 

i)Total resistance = R + R’ = 8 +10 = 18 ohm

ii) Total current = =0.67 A
