Find the total current in the circuit by calculating the individual branch currents, and then using the sum rule for total parallel circuit current to determine the total current.

Respuesta :

Answer:

416 A

Explanation:

The current (I) that flows through a circuit can be estimated by taking the ratio of the potential difference or voltage (V) and the resistance (R) of the resistor. Therefore,

I = V/R

In the first circuit, V = 4160 V; R = 14 ohms. Thus, the current is:

I = 4160/14 = 297.143 A

In the second circuit, V = 4160 V; R = 35 ohms. Thus, the current is:

I = 4160/35 = 118.857

The total current = 297.143 + 118.857 = 416 A
