1.
According to Ohm's law, at a constant temperature, the steady current 'I' flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference 'V' between the two ends of the conductor.
\(I\alpha V \Rightarrow\) V = IR
2.
Electric potential : The electric potential at a point is defined as the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point against the electric force.
Electric potential difference : The electric potential difference between two points is defined as the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another point against the electric force.
3.
A) Since the resistors are connected in parallel, the potential difference across each resistor is same (i.e. V=10V)
Therefore, the current through R1 is,
\({ I }_{ 1 }=\frac { V }{ { R }_{ 1 } } =\frac { 10 }{ 5 } =2A\)
Current through \({ R }_{ 2 }={ I }_{ 2 }=\frac { V }{ { R }_{ 2 } } =\frac { 10 }{ 10 } =1A\)
Current through \({ R }_{ 3 }={ I }_{ 3 }=\frac { V }{ { R }_{ 3 } } =\frac { 10 }{ 20 } =0.5A\)
B) Total current in the circuit, I = I1 + I2 + I3
= 2 + 1 + 0.5 = 3.5 A
C) Total resistance in the circuit \(\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ P } } =\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } +\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } +\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 3 } } \)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 5 } +\frac { 1 }{ 10 } +\frac { 1 }{ 20 } \)
\(=\frac { 4+2+1 }{ 20 } \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ P } } =\frac { 7 }{ 20 } \)
Hence, \({ R }_{ P }=\frac { 20 }{ 7 } =2.857\Omega \)
