Three resistors, 3.0 Ω, 12 Ω, and 4.0 Ω, are connected in parallel across a 6.0-V battery as shown above. What is the current through the battery?

the current flowing through the battery is 4 A.

Explanation:

Given;

resistance of the three resistors in parallel, R₁, R₂ and R₃ = 3.0 Ω, 12 Ω, and 4.0 Ω

voltage of the battery, V = 6.0 V

The equivalent resistance is calculated as follows;

The current flowing through the battery is calculated as follows;

Therefore, the current flowing through the battery is 4 A.

force required to detach it is given by

charges are taken to be fundamental charge

now we have

so above is the minimum distance at which it will detach
