NUMERICALS
Example 1: There are three resistors joined in series in a system having resistance equal to 10 Ω,
20Ω and 30 Ω respectively. If the potential difference of the circuit is 240 V, find the total
resistance and current through the circuit.

Solution: Given, R1 = 10 Ω, R2 = 20 Ω, R3 = 30 Ω and V = 240 V

Total resistance (R) =?

Current through the circuit ( I ) =?

According to Ohm’s Law Total resistance in series (R) = Sum of resistance of all resistors

Or, R=10Ω+20Ω+30Ω= 60Ω

We know that electric current I=VR

Or, I=240V÷60Ω= 4A

Thus, total resistance (R)=60Ω

Current through the circuit = 4 A

Example 3: There are five electric appliances, viz. electric heater and electric lamp, an electric fan,
computer and an exhaust fan are connected in parallel in a household. The resistance electric
appliances are 40Ω, 5 Ω, 8Ω, 20Ω and 10Ω respectively. If a potential difference of 240V is flowing
through the circuit then. find

a. Total resistance through the circuit

b. Total electric current (I) through the circuit and
c. the current through each of the resistor.
Total current =6A+48A+30A +12A+24A=120A
