Answer:
4 A
Explanation:
Firstly we need to calculate the equivalent resistance. Since, two resistors of 6 connected in parallel, so equivalent resistance will be given by,
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 1/R = (1/6 + 1/6) Ω
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 1/R = (1 + 1)/6 Ω
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 1/R = 2/6 Ω
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] R = 6/2 Ω
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] R = 3 Ω
We know that,
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] V = IR
- V denotes p.d (12V)
- I denotes current
- R denotes resistance (3 Ω)
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 12 = I × 3
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 12 ÷ 3 = I
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 4 Ampere = I
