Homework Equations

v=IR

The Attempt at a Solution

I have tried finding the total resistance of the circuit and then applying ohms law. My answer is 0.65 Amps but that's incorrect.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi qwerty2x!

Show us your full calculations, and then we can see what went wrong, and we'll know how to help!

 

[srabate]

Use the equivalent resistance formulas and then Ohm's Law

For two resistors in series $$R_{eq} = R_{1} + R_{2}$$
For two resistors in parallel $$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}$$

or two resistors in parallel simplified $$R_{eq} = \frac{R_{1}R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}}$$

Hope this helps!
