By BYJU'S Exam Prep
Updated on: September 25th, 2023
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.
