By Varadi Hema|Updated : July 29th, 2022

Calculate the current across the 20-ohm resistor in the circuit shown below.
A. 20 A
B. 10 A
C. 12 A
D. 6.66 A
Select the correct answer from the above-given options and support your answer with a brief explanation.

Answer: B. 10 A

The current across the 20-ohm resistor in the circuit shown above is 10 A.

Solution:

All the given resistors are connected in parallel across the 200 V source.

The current through the 20-ohm resistor = V/R=200/20=10 A

Hence option B is the correct answer.
