Question 356Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is C) 12 volts. The total current in a parallel circuit is the sum of the currents through each resistor. Since the total current is 12 amps and the resistor values are 2 ohms, 3 ohms, and 6 ohms, we can use Ohm's law (V = IR) to calculate the voltage of the battery. The voltage will be the same across all resistors in a parallel circuit, so the voltage is 12 amps * (2 ohms + 3 ohms + 6 ohms) = 12 volts. The other options are incorrect because 2 volts is too low, 6 volts is too low, and 24 volts is too high based on the given information and Ohm's law.
