a)I=2.4 A

b)I=0.3 A

c)1.5 ohms

Step-by-step explanation

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.it is represented in the equations


\begin{gathered} V=RI \\ R=(V)/(I) \\ I=(V)/(R) \end{gathered}

so

Step 1

a) given


\begin{gathered} V=24\text{ V} \\ R=10\text{ ohm} \\ I=\text{ unknown} \end{gathered}

replace in the proper formula, so


\begin{gathered} I=(V)/(R) \\ I=\frac{24\text{ V}}{10\text{ Ohm}}=2.4\text{ A} \end{gathered}

so

a)I=2.4 A

Step 2

i)let


\begin{gathered} V=12\text{ V} \\ R=40\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}

replace


\begin{gathered} I=(V)/(R) \\ I=\frac{12\text{ V}}{40\text{ ohm}}=0.3\text{ A} \end{gathered}

so

b)I=0.3 A

Step 3

finally, to find the resistenace, let


\begin{gathered} V=6\text{ V} \\ I=4.0\text{ A} \end{gathered}

replace in the proper formula


\begin{gathered} R=(V)/(I) \\ R=\frac{6\text{ V}}{4\text{ A}} \\ R=1.5\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}

so

c)1.5 ohms

I hope this helps you
