Answer:
Current through each resistor is 2 A.
Explanation:
Given that,
Voltage of a battery, V = 5 volts
Resistance 1, R = 1.25 ohms
Resistance 2,R' = 1.25 ohms
Both resistors are connected in series. The equivalent resistance is given by :
R" = R + R'
R" = 1.25 + 1.25
R" = 2.5 ohms
The current flowing throughout all resistors is same in series combination of resistors. Current can be calculated using Ohm's law as :
[tex]I=\dfrac{V}{R"}[/tex]
[tex]I=\dfrac{5\ V}{2.5}[/tex]
I = 2 A
So, the current through each resistor is 2 A. Hence, this is the required solution.
