A 2700 Ohm, a 39k Ohm, and a 56k Ohm resistor are connected in parallel. If 5mA flows through the 56k Ohm resistor, how much current flows through the 39k resistor? This one has me stumped ! Can someone help?

 

Hi,

Remember that I = E/R. The current through the 56K resistor will give you the voltage across it. In a parallel circuit, that same voltage is across every other circuit element. No problem solving for the other currents.
