A circuit diagram with a power source labeled negative positive V and two parallel resistors 15 Ohms and 40 Ohms. There are two vectors in a clockwise direction labeled I.
Round your answers to one decimal place.

This parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. What is the total resistance?

Ω

If there is a 12 V battery in the circuit, what would the approximate current be?

A

Total resistance:
1/R = 1/15 + 1/40 = 55/600 = 11/120 → R = 120/11 ≈ 10.9 Ω

Current with 12 V:
I = V / R = 12 / 10.9 ≈ 1.1 A
