Five resistors are connected in a circuit as shown. Find the ammeter reading when the circuit is closed.

Answered by admin @



Answer: 1 Ampere

Given data states the 5 resistors connected with the value,

R_1 = 3 Ω; R_2 = 3 Ω ; R_3 = 3 Ω; R_4 = 0.5 Ω and R_5 = 0.5 Ω.

As shown,  the R_1 and R_2 are in series connection, therefore,

R' =  R_1 + R_2 = 3 + 3 = 6 Ω

And then R' and R_3 are now in parallel connection, thereby

\frac { 1 }{ R'' } =\frac { 1 }{ R' } +\frac { 1 }{ R_{ 3 } }

\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ R'' } =\frac { 1 }{ 6 } +\frac { 1 }{ 3 }

\Rightarrow R''=2

And then R'' with R_4 and R_5 are in series, thereby

Total R = R'' + R_4 + R_5

\Rightarrow Total\quad R = 0.5 + 2 + 0.5

\Rightarrow Total\quad R = 3 Ω.

Therefore,

Current I=\frac { V }{ R }

\Rightarrow I=\frac { 3 }{ 3 } =1 Ampere.
