R/4=600.
R=2400.
I=15/2400.
I=6.25ma.

WE KNOW THAT V=IR.
I= V/R.
ACCORDING TO QUE. V=15v, R= 600.
I = 15/600= 0.025 A.
BIT THE CURRENT IS DIVIDING IN 4 PARALLEL CKT SO,
I in each ckt is = 0.025/4=0.00625 A ( OPTION NOT GIVEN),
SO 1 A= 1000ma.
0.00620A= 0.00625*1000= 6.25 ma in each circuit.
I= V/R.
ACCORDING TO QUE. V=15v, R= 600.
I = 15/600= 0.025 A.

V=IR, I=V/R=15/600=0.025
I(total)=I(r1)+I(r2)+I(r3)+I(r4)=4I ; (r1=r2=r3=r4)
I= I(total)/4= 0.025/4= 0.00625= 6.25e-3mA
I(total)=I(r1)+I(r2)+I(r3)+I(r4)=4I ; (r1=r2=r3=r4)
I= I(total)/4= 0.025/4= 0.00625= 6.25e-3mA

I = v/r.
r = 600, v=15.
So, I =15/600 = 0.025.
I = 0.025/4,
I = 0.00625,
I = 6.25mA.
r = 600, v=15.
So, I =15/600 = 0.025.
I = 0.025/4,
I = 0.00625,
I = 6.25mA.

Why can't we do like this,
V = 15v.
Total R = 600 ohms; each Rs. = R*4 = 600*4 = 2000 ohms.
Current I = V/R.
I = 15/2000.
I = 7.5 mA.
V = 15v.
Total R = 600 ohms; each Rs. = R*4 = 600*4 = 2000 ohms.
Current I = V/R.
I = 15/2000.
I = 7.5 mA.
