Two resistors of 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in parallel across a 12 V battery. The total current drawn from the battery is

Options

  • A. 2 A
  • B. 4 A
  • C. 6 A
  • D. 8 A
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

C. 6 A

Detailed Explanation

Parallel equivalent resistance is (6 x 3)/(6 + 3) = 2 ohm. Total current I = V/R = 12/2 = 6 A.
