Four resistances are connected in a circuit as shown in the given figure. The electric current flowing through 4 ohm and 6 ohm resistance, respectively, are (A) 2 A and 4 A (B) 1 A and 2 A (C) 1 A and 1 A (D) 2 A and 2 A

Equivalent resistance =(4 × 4/4+4)+(6 × 6/6+6)=5 ohm . So the current in the circuit =(20/5)=4 ampere. Hence, the current flowing thro ugh each resistance =2 ampere.

Q. Four resistances are connected in a circuit as shown in the given figure. The electric current flowing through $4 o hm$ and $6 o hm$ resistance, respectively, are

2 A and 4 A

1 A and 2 A

1 A and 1 A

2 A and 2 A

Equivalent resistance $= \frac{4 \times 4}{4 + 4} + \frac{6 \times 6}{6 + 6} = 5 o hm .$
So the current in the circuit $= \frac{20}{5} = 4$ ampere.
Hence, the current flowing thro ugh each resistance $= 2$ ampere.
