A 5-ohm, an 10-ohm, and a 15-ohm resistor are connected in parallel. The current through the 10-ohm resistor is 5 amperes. Determine the supply voltage. (Assume conductor resistance is negligible.)

What will be an ideal response?


E = IR
E = (10 ohms * 5 amperes) = 50 volts
Since the resistors are connected in parallel, the voltage drop across each resistor is equal to the supply voltage.
