Question

2 resistors of resistance 6 and 8 ohm are connected in a series to a source of potential difference 35V. Calculate the current in the circuit and potential differences across each resistor. Its a physics question

Answer 1

Answer:

current = 2.5 A

Step-by-step explanation:

CURRENT  I = V/R

HERE EFFECTIVE RESISTANCE = 6+ 8= 14( since series)

∴ I = V/R = 35/14 = 2.5 A

SINCE IN SERIES CIRCUIT CURRENT IS SAME

IN 6 ohm resistor  V = 2.5× 6= 15

IN 8 ohm resistor V = 2.5 × 8 = 20
