Hi how do i begin wif this qn?
I know v=ir.
For the parallel branch involving the two 2.0 ohm resistors, their effective resistance is given by
1/R = 1/2.0 + 1/2.0
1/R = 1.0
R = 1.0 ohm
So, the two 2.0 ohm resistors in parallel is as good as a single 1.0 ohm resistor in terms of the resistance provided.
The total resistance of the circuit would then be 1.0 + 2.0 + 3.0 = 6.0 ohm.
So, the whole set up can be viewed as a battery, an ammeter and a 6.0 ohm resistor, and nothing else.
Ammeter reading
= Current flowing in the main circuit
= V/R
= 12/6.0
= 2.0 A
