[Circuit: 2Ω, 4Ω and 12Ω resistors connected in parallel, and a 12V battery across the combination] The current flowing through the 12Ω resistor is

  • A. A. 3.2A
  • B. B. 9.6A
  • C. C. 14.4A
  • D. D. 1.0ACorrect

Explanation

When resistors are connected in parallel, the full 12V is across the 12Ω resistor. I = V/R = 12/12 = 1.0A.
