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}​​​
