Question
three resistors connected in parallel to a battery. The battery has a voltage of V = 10.0 V, and the resistors have equal resistances of R = 300.0 ?.
(a) Determine the equivalent resistance across the battery.
(b) Determine the voltage across each of the resistor.
(c) Determine the current passing through each resistor.
(d) Determine the power consumed by each resistor.

(a) Determine the equivalent resistance across the battery. (b) Determine the voltage across each of the resistor. (c) Determine the current passing through each resistor. (d) Determine the power consumed by each resistor.Explanation / Answer
eq ressitance across the battery = 300/3 = 100 ohm (ans)
voltae across each resistor = 10 V ( resistors are in parallel, so they have same voltage. (ans)
current in the circuit = 10/100 = 0.1 A
current passing through each resistor = 0.1/3 = 0.0333 A (ans) or 33 mA (ans)
power consumed by each resistor = I2R = (0.033)2* 300 = 0.333 W (ans)
