Question

A car has a 12-volt battery. The engine has a resistance of 0.22 ohms. How many amps will be drawn from the battery when the key is turned? I (to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

54.50 is the answer...........

Answer 2

54.54 amps.

Explanation:

Amps refers to the electrical current.

We have to find the electrical current when the car has a 12-volt battery and the engine has a resistance of 0.22 ohms.

The relation between these magnitudes is

`V=I* R`

Where
`V` is the voltage,
`I` is the electrical current and
`R` the resistance.

We know that
`V=12; R=0.22`. Replacing these values in the formula and solving for
`I`

`V=I* R\\(V)/(R)=I\\ I=(12)/(0.22)\\ I\approx 54.54 amp`

Therefore, the answer is around 54.54 amps.
