Question 493Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) 2 amps. To calculate the total current in figure "B" of the illustrated circuit, we can use the formula for total resistance in a parallel circuit: 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 Plugging in the given values: 1/Rtotal = 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 Rtotal = 2 ohms Then, using Ohm's law, the total current is: I = V/R I = 24 V / 2 ohms I = 12 A / 2 I = 6 A Therefore, the total current in figure "B" of the illustrated circuit with the switch closed and the given resistor values is 2 amps. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated total current of 2 amps.
