Final answer:
To find the current through resistor aa with a 60.0-V battery connected, one would use Ohm's Law with the formula I = V/R, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance. Without the resistance value, we cannot solve the problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question is regarding the determination of current through a resistor when a battery is connected in a circuit. The physics principle involved here is Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). The formula is I = V/R.
To solve this problem, we need to know the resistance of the resistor in question (let's call it Raa). Unfortunately, the original question does not provide the value of Raa. Assuming we had the resistance value, we would simply divide the voltage of the battery (60.0V) by the resistance of resistor aa to find the current through it.
For example, if Raa were given as 10 ohms, the calculation would be:
Iaa = V / Raa = 60.0V / 10Ω = 6.0A
This would mean that the current through resistor aa would be 6.0A.
