Homework Equations
V=IR
For resistors connected in parallel, 1/R =1/R1 + 1/R2 +...
The Attempt at a Solution
I first calculated the resistance of the the cable which consists of two wires,
1/R= 1/0.0050 + 1/0.0050
R = 2.5x10^-3 x 800
= 2 Ω
Then I calculate the voltage across the cable, V=0.060x2= 0.12V
So the total p.d would be 0.12V+16.0V=16.12V, and I chose A, but the correct answer is C. Why?
Please help, thanks
