Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A series circuit contains three resistors of 2Ξ©, 3Ξ©, and 5Ξ©. Calculate the total voltage needed for a 2A current to flow through this circuit.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use Ohm's Law, V = I * R after finding total resistance.

Question 2

In a parallel circuit with a power supply of 10V and three resistors: 5Ξ©, 10Ξ©, and 15Ξ©. Determine the total current flowing from the power supply.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate total resistance first using the parallel formula before applying Ohm's Law.
