Question

The circuit shows a 2.0Ω resistor and a 1.0Ω resistor connected to a 12V battery.
2.0Ω
12V
1.0Ω
What is the current in the 2.0Ω resistor?
A 4.0A B 6.0A C 24A D 36A

Answer 1

Explanation:

let 2.0ohm and 1.0ohm both in series

equivalent resistance =R1 +R2

2.0 +1.0=3ohm

V=IR

I=V/R. (R=equivalent resistance)

I=12/3

I= 4 ampere

current through 2.0ohm resistor is 4 ampere because in series current is same for both resistor

Answer 2

option a 4.0 is the answer I hope
