Two 4Ω resistors are in parallel combination. Their equivalent resistance =(4×4/4+4)=(16/8)=2Ω ∴ Total resistance of the network = 2 + 1 = 3Ω ∴ Current through 1Ω resistor, i=(6/3)=2A

Q. The current in the $1Ω$ resistor shown in the circuit is

$\frac{2}{3} A$

$3 A$

$6 A$

$2 A$

Two $4Ω$ resistors are in parallel combination. Their equivalent resistance
$= \frac{4 \times 4}{4 + 4} = \frac{16}{8} = 2Ω$
$∴$ Total resistance of the
network $= 2 + 1 = 3Ω$
$∴$ Current through $1Ω$ resistor, $i = \frac{6}{3} = 2 A$

Q. The current in the 1Ω resistor shown in the circuit is

32​A

3A

6A
