Answer:

the current that flows through the component is 2.42 A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

resistance of the electrical component, r = 53 Ω

the voltage of the source, V = 128 V

The current that flows through the component is calculated using Ohm's Law as demonstrated below;


V = IR\\\\I = (V)/(R) = (128 \ V)/(53 \ ohms) = 2.42 \ A

Therefore, the current that flows through the component is 2.42 A
