    Question

    Two resistances, each of 1000 Ω are connected in parallel across a 200V DC source. then current flowing through the circuit is ________ Amp.

    A.

    40

    B.

    10

    C.

    0.4

    D.

    4

    Correct option is C

    R1=R2=1000ΩR_1 = R_2 = 1000\Omega, V=200VV = 200V

    1Req=1R1+1R2\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}

    1Req=11000+11000\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{1000} + \frac{1}{1000}

    1Req=21000\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{2}{1000}

    Req=10002=500ΩR_{eq} = \frac{1000}{2} = 500\Omega

    Ohm’s law formula:

    I=VReqI = \frac{V}{R_{eq}}​​​​​​​

    I=200500I = \frac{200}{500}

    I=0.4 AmpsI = 0.4 \text{ Amps}​​​
