Step 1:
\Observe the circuit,
\The resistors and
are in parallel.
Resultant resistance is .
Total resistance of the circuit is .
Voltage drop across the resistor is same as the voltage across the resistor
.
Ohms law: .
Therefore, .
.
Total current passing through the circuit is .
.
.
Total current passing through the circuit is .
Step 2:
\Find the current passing throught the resistor .
Use current division rule to find .
Substitute corresponding values in the above formula.
\Find the current passing throught the resistor is 2 A.
Solution:
\.
.
