86.
The circuit to the right has a 15.0 volt battery.
R1 is 2.00 ohms
R2 is 4.00 ohms
R3 is 1.00 ohms

What is the current in the branch with R2?
A. 2.15 amps All Resistors in Parallel have the same voltage drop.  In this example, V = 15.0 volts
    

                          V        15.0 volts
V = IR  => I = ----- = ----------------- =  3.75 volts
                          R         4.00 amps

   
The Correct Answer is B.
B. 3.75 amps
C. 15.00 amps
D. 26.25 amps
