question 1

Multiple Choice

Three resistors of resistances $4.0 \Omega , 6.0 \Omega$ , and $10 \Omega$ are connected in parallel. If this combination is now connected in series with an ideal $12 - \mathrm { V }$ battery and a $2.0 - \Omega$ resistor, what is the current through the $10 - \Omega$ resistor?

• A) \(2.7 \mathrm {~A}\)
• B) \(11 \mathrm {~A}\)
• C) \(0.59 \mathrm {~A}\)
• D) \(16 \mathrm {~A}\)
