# Resistors in series and parallel; power

### Explanation of question 3

Two resistors having values 1.2M and 1.5M respectively are connected in series across a 13.5V supply. The current in each resistor will be

1. 11.25mA and 9mA respectively
2. 11.25 A and 9 A respectively
3. 5mA
4. 5 A

The answer is :- 4

Total I = (total p.d.)/(total R)

=13.5
2.7 x 106

= 5 x 10-6 A

= 5 A.
