Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Resistors can be arranged in parallel or series.
  • If resistors are arranged in series, the resultant/ equivalent resistance is

                                                   Req = R1 + R 2+ ...............

  • If resistors are arranged in parallel then equivalent resistance

                                                   1Req = 1R1 +1R2 + ..............

  • If Resistors are arranged in parallel, the voltage is same but current flowing through the resistors is different.

                                              According to current division rule, current through a branch       

                                                                                              =  total resitanceresistance in another branch x total current
