You Connect Resistors of 2 Ω\Omega , 3 Ω\Omega , and 6 Ω\Omega

Question 37

Multiple Choice

   You connect resistors of 2  \Omega , 3  \Omega , and 6  \Omega  in parallel across a battery. The current through the 6- \Omega  resistor is 3 A. What are the currents in the other two resistors? A)  I<sub>1</sub> = 9 A; I<sub>2</sub> = 6 A B)  I<sub>1</sub> = 6 A; I<sub>2</sub> = 9 A C)  I<sub>1</sub> = 1 A; I<sub>2</sub> = 1.5 A D)  The answer cannot be obtained without knowing the emf of the battery. E)  None of these is correct. You connect resistors of 2 Ω\Omega , 3 Ω\Omega , and 6 Ω\Omega in parallel across a battery. The current through the 6- Ω\Omega resistor is 3 A.
