By Ohm's Law, current is voltage divided by resistance, so a voltage of 6 volts across a resistance of 24 ohms will develop a current of 0.25 amperes.

Why resistance connected in parallel to current source?
A Discussion has been started about this question. Click on the View Discussion button below to take part in it.The "type" of a source does not limit in what ways resistors can be connected to it. Resistors can be connected either in series or in parallel - or in a combination of series and parallel - across a voltage source.Similarly, resistors can be connected either in series or in parallel - or in a combination of series and parallel - across a current source.
How can calculate the current of 3 resistors wired in parallel?
In this case, to get the equivalent resistance, first you use the parallel formula (1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2) to calculate the equivalent resistors in parallel. Then you calculate the series resistance of this combination, with the other resistor.
What is the current flowing in a circuit which has two resistors of 4 ohms each connected in parallel to a power source of 24 volts?
Three 214 K Ohm resistors in series is 656 K Ohms. Across 24 volts, that is about 0.03659 milliamperes.Three 214 K Ohm resistors in parallel is about 71.3 K Ohms. Across 24 volts, that is about 0.3364 milliamperes.RSeries = SummationI=1toN (RI)RParallel = 1 / SummationI=1toN (1 / RI)Current = Voltage / Resistance
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit. what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistor and the currents through the resistors?
When resistors are connected in series in a circuit . the voltage drop across each resistor will be equal to its resistance, as V=IR, V is direct proportional to R. An A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source
A 20 ohm a 60 ohm a 80 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 110 volt power source what is the total current flowing in the circuit?
The total current flowing in the three resistors, i = 110 V / r(eq); where r(eq) is the equivalent resistance of the three parallel resistors. r(eq) = 1/[(1/20) + (1/60) + (1/80)] = 1 / 0.079 ohms = 12.63 ohms. i = 110 V / 12.63 ohms = 8.71 amps.
The sum of currents across the resistors equals the currents through the source in which type of circuit?
In parallel circuit the current through the resistors are different in values depending upon the values of resistors. But the sum of the currents across all the resistors will be equal to the current through the sourcgsvg bdjasuhafyuhda

Will current flow in a higher resistance or in lower resistance if they are connected in parallel to a voltage source?
Current will always flow in both resistors, but the one with the lower resistance will have more current flow through it. The value of the current in each resistor is calculated by dividing the voltage of the source by the resistance of the individual resistor. As long as the capability of the power source isn't exceeded, the current through each resistor isn't affected by the presence of the other resistor. Said another way, if two resistors are connected in parallel across a source, neither one "cares" that the other resistor is connected across the source. The two resistors work independently.
Why resistors are connected in series with the voltage source and in parallel with current source?
a voltage source has very less(negligible)resistance.thus is considered as a short.if connected in parallel to a resistor will draw all the current acting as a short.thus is always connected in series of a resistor.where as a current source has tremendous resistance(infinity).thus if connected in series will be conidered as an open branch and no current will flow through it other than the source current.

What is a current circuit?
A current circuit refers to a closed path through which electric current flows. It is formed by connecting various electrical components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, with conducting wires. The current circuit allows the flow of electric charges, usually in the form of electrons, from the power source to the load.
