Answer: current I = 1.875A

Explanation:

If the resistors are connected in series,

Then the equivalent resistance will be

R = 6 + 18 + 15 + 9

R = 48 ohms

Using ohms law

V = IR

Make current I the subject of formula

I = V/R

I = 90/48

I = 1.875A

And if the resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance will be

1/R = 1/6 + 1/18 + 1/15 + 1/9

1/R = 0.166 + 0.055 + 0.066 + 0.111

R = 1/0.3999

R = 2.5 ohms

Using ohms law

V = IR

I = 90/2.5

Current I = 35.99A
