Question on: WAEC Physics - 1990

Calculate the current in the 3Ω resistor shown in
the diagram above.

A
3.0A
B
4.0A
C
4.3A
D
12.0A
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B

Total Resistance R = 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
R = 12/13Ω
V = IR = (12/13) x 13 = 12v
1 across 3Ω = V/R = 12/3 = 4A
