Question

In a given circuit, the supplied voltage is 1.5 volts. One resistor is 3 ohms and the other is 2 ohms. Use Ohm's law to determine the current in the circuit.

0.3 amps
1.5 amps
7.5 amps
3.3 amps

Answer 1

the answer is 0.3 yw XD

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

You haven't said whether the two resistors are connected
in series or in parallel. It makes a difference.

-- If they are in series, then their combined effective resistance is

(3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

Current in the circuit is (voltage)/(resistance) = 1.5/5 = 0.3 Amp.


-- If they are in parallel, then their combined effective resistance is

(3 x 2) / (3 + 2) = (6/5) = 1.2 ohms.

Current in the circuit is (voltage)/(resistance) = 1.5/1.2 = 1.25 Amp.
