The parallel combination of a 470 Ω resistor and a 1.5 kΩ resistor is in series with the parallel combination of five 1 kΩ resistors. The source voltage is 50 V. The percentage of the load current through any single 1 KΩ resistor is__________?
Correct answer: B. 20 %
- A. 25 %
- B. 20 %
- C. 100 %
- D. 50 %
Explanation
Five identical 1 kΩ resistors in parallel share the load current equally. Each resistor therefore carries one-fifth of the current, or 20%.
