Question

How much current, in amps, does a 11.4 volt battery push thru a 10.0 Ωresistor?

Answer 1

Given:

The supply voltage of the battery, V=11.4 V

The resistance of the resistor, 10.0 Ω

To find:

The current through the resistor.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Ohm's law, the voltage across the resistor is proportional to the current through the resistor.

Thus,

`V=IR`

Where I is the current through the resistor.

On substituting the known values,

`\begin{gathered} 11.4=I*10.0 \\ \implies I=(11.4)/(10.0) \\ =1.14\text{ A} \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

The current through the resistor is 1.14 A
