Question

4. (TCO 4) In the circuit below, what is the total current if the current through R1 = 2.00 mA?

The circuit schematic consists of four vertical branches connected together in parallel in a circuit. The first branch on the left consists of a battery labeled V1 with its positive polarity pointing upwards. The second branch consists of a resistor labeled R1, 1.0 kOhm. The third branch consists of a second resistor labeled R2, 2.0 kOhm. The fourth branch consists of a third resistor labeled R3, 3.0 kOhm. The negative lead of the battery is connected to ground.

Explanation / Answer

since the resistors are in a parallel combination so , r1i1=r2i1=r3i3 we know i1=2 mA so i2=1mA i3=2/3 mA so the net current in the circuit = 2+1+2/3 =11/3 mA hope my answer is correct and please appreciate my help by awarding me karma points
