Two resistors, A (10 Ω) and B (15 Ω). are connected in parallel. The combination is connected to a 3 V battery. The current through the battery is:

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) 0.50 A.

Information Booster:

• Parallel combination
  • Three resistors connected in  parallel to a battery of voltage V are depicted in the figure below.
  • In this type of connection, the resistors are typically connected on parallel wires that originate from a common point.
  • The voltage that flows through each resistor is the same in this instance. The equivalent resistance of the three resistances is depicted in the figure on the right.
  • The equation for the relationship betweenvoltage and current is,V=IR
  • The voltages across individual resistors will be, I₁= V/R1, I₂= V/R₂, I₃= V/R₃
