Three resistors of 2 Ω, 3 Ω and 5 Ω are joined in series across a 20 V supply. Calculate the current in the circuit and the potential difference across the 3 Ω resistor.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Current 2 A and potential difference 6 V
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The total resistance is 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 Ω, so I = 20 ÷ 10 = 2 A. Across the 3 Ω resistor V = 2 × 3 = 6 V.
