Parallel battery voltage current resistance
(b). The 12 V battery is connected to the three resistors R1, R2, and R3. The current in each resistor is related to that voltage by ohm''s law; Current through resistor R 1, I 1 = V / R 1 = 12 / 2 = 6A. Current through resistance R 2, I 2 = V / R 2 = 12 / 4 = 3A. Current through resistance R 3, I 3 = V / R 3 = 12 / 6 = 2 A (c).
