24) Three resistors with resistances of 2.0 , 6.0 , and 12 are connected across an ideal dc voltage source V, as shown in the figure. If the total current in the circuit is I = 5.0 A, what is the current through the 12- resistor?
Solution
Requilent = 2x6x12/(2x6+6x12+12x2) = 1.33 ohm
V= IR = 6.66 volt
current in 12 ohm = 6.66/12 = 0.556 A
