If 3 identical 45-ohm resistors are connected in parallel, the net effective resistance of the bunch ...
and the load seen by the battery ... is 15 ohms. The current supplied by the battery is

60/15 = 4 Amperes.

(This assumes that the battery is capable of supplying 4 amps at 60 volts, or 240 watts !)

What is the PD across two resistors connected parallel to a battery of emf 6V?

The potential difference across two resistors connected in parallel to a battery with a potential difference of 6 volts is 6 volts. Kirchoff's Voltage Law: The signed sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is zero. This means that that the two series circuits involving the battery and each resistor have the same voltage across each other, and the series circuit involving the two resistors have the same voltage across each other.


Three identical bulbs are connected in series labeled A B and C to a battery which bulb is the brightest?

If three identical bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery, all three bulbs would have equal brightness.Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit is zero. A consequence of this is that, in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each parallel element is the same.There are effectively 6 series circuits in this example - battery and A - battery and B - battery and C - A and B - A and C - and B and C. These six combinations are also parallel circuits, and they are also in parallel with each other.


If 3 15 ohm resistors are connected in parallel to a 30 volt battery what is the equvalent resistance through the circuit?

Three identical bulbs are connected in parallel with a battery of 6A If one of the bulb gets fused what will be the total current drawn from the battery?

As the lamps are identical, and all three draw a current of 6 A, then each lamp must be drawing 2 A. So, with one of the lamps disconnected, the current drawn from the supply will reduce to 4 A.


Three identical bulbs are connected in parallel across a 12-V battery If one of the bulbs were removed from its socket then the potential difference measured across the empty socket would be?

12V. Every resistor in a parallel circuit shares the same voltage. It is the current that gets divided.

How is a circuit constructed with five resistors and a battery as shown?

A circuit with five resistors and a battery is constructed by connecting the resistors in series or parallel to create a closed loop for the flow of electric current from the battery through the resistors. The battery provides the energy for the current to flow through the resistors, which resist the flow of current. The arrangement of the resistors and the battery determines the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit.

Is a snap type battery holder parallel connection or serial construction?

A single battery or battery holder is not considered either, as parallel and serial connections are about resistors, lights, and objects that use electricity, not supply it.
