Round your answers to one decimal place. this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance? ωif there is a 12 v battery in the circuit, what would the approximate current be? a

1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:

so in our problem we have

and the equivalent resistance is


2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:

Efficiency is an act of doing something
