Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Three resistors connected in parallel have individual values of 4.0, 6.0 and 10.0 ohm, respectively. If this combination is connected in series with a 12-V battery and a 2.0-ohm resistor, what is the current in the 10-ohm resistor?
A
0.59 A
B
1.0 A
C
11 A
D
16 A
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer Minimum resistance is obtained by connecting all three resistances in parallel => 1/R =1/4+1/6+1/8 =>1/R = 6/24+4/24+3/24 => 1/R = 13/24 => R =24/13 ohm .

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: 3+6.02+12 = 21.02 Ohms.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to the question the equivalent resistance of 3 ohm and 6 ohm resistance which kept in parallel is 2 ohm.
