Here, v=12v, r1=7.5 ohm, r2=5 ohm, r3=2 ohm.

WKT,
I=V/R.
I1=V/R1=12/7.5=1.6 mA.
I2=V/R2=12/5=2.4 mA.
I3=V/R3=12/2=6 mA.
Itot=10 mA.

So the ckt is operate normally.

How would you know that if r1 is open then c/n flow will be 8.4?

Case 1.

When R1 is open then current flow in the circuit will be 8.4. Which is not equal to 10. So it is not correct.

Case 2.

When R2 is open then the current flow in the circuit will be 7.6 which is not correct as 10.

Case 3.

When fuse is open, the current and voltage would be zero.

Hence the circuit will operate normally.

Current through R1 = V/R1
= 12/7.5K = 1.6 mA

Current through R2 = V/R2
= 12/5K = 2.4 mA

Current through R3 = V/R3
= 12/2K = 6 mA

Total current 1.6+2.4+6 = 10mA

Ammeter is also showing 10mA.

So circuit is working normally.

It=10mA
Vt=12v
Rt=Vt/It=12/10mA =1.2K

1/R1+1/R2+1/R3=1/1.2K

(1/7.5K)+(1/5K)+(1/2K)=0.833K (ALL K cancles)

0.133+0.2+0.5=0.833 is correct so none is open

circuit is operating normally

rt=0.00083
1/rt=1204.8129
after that,
it=vt/rt
so,
it=12/1204.8129
=9.96ma

Please give more explanation.

Now we should know total current.
it=vt/rt
1/rt=(0.00013)+(0.0002)+(0.0005)=0.00083=1204.8196 ohm
it=9.9 ma
The circuit is operating normally
