Problem

Two resistors R1=10 ΩR_1 = 10\,\Omega and R2=20 ΩR_2 = 20\,\Omega are connected in parallel. This parallel combination is then connected in series with a 5 Ω5\,\Omega resistor to a 30 V30\,\text{V} battery having negligible internal resistance. (i) Draw a neat circuit diagram showing the given arrangement. (ii) Calculate the equivalent resistance of the parallel branch. (iii) Find the total resistance of the entire circuit. (iv) Determine the current supplied by the battery.
