Answer

6 A\text{6 A}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the total current in the circuit.

    From the previous problem, the ammeter indicates the total current flowing from the source is 6 A6 \text{ A}.

  2. Determine the current through the 3Ω3 \Omega resistor.

    The 3Ω3 \Omega resistor is connected in series with the main current path. In a series circuit, the current is the same through all components.
    Therefore, the current through the 3Ω3 \Omega resistor is the total current.

    I3Ω=6 AI_{3\Omega} = 6 \text{ A}
  3. Determine the current through the 2Ω2 \Omega resistor.

    Similarly, the 2Ω2 \Omega resistor is also connected in series with the main current path.
    Therefore, the current through the 2Ω2 \Omega resistor is the total current.

    I2Ω=6 AI_{2\Omega} = 6 \text{ A}

    The current in the 3Ω3 \Omega resistor is 6 A\boxed{\text{6 A}} and the current in the 2Ω2 \Omega resistor is 6 A\boxed{\text{6 A}}.
