What will be the resulting total current if a voltage of 125 VDC is applied to the loads of the circuit in figure "A" of the illustration where the resistance of R1 is 12 ohms, and R2 is 115 ohms? EL-0019

Correct Answer: Option D — 11.5 amps

In this parallel circuit, the equivalent resistance is calculated using the product-over-sum formula, yielding approximately 10.87 ohms. Applying Ohm's law ($I = V / R$) with a 125 VDC source results in a total current of 11.5 amps, demonstrating how parallel branches reduce total circuit resistance.
