Question

Two resistors of resistance 19 each are connected in series. A potential difference of 10 V is then

applied across the resistors. What is the resulting current through the resistors?

Answer 1

Two resistors of resistance 19 ohm each are connected in series.

In series combination, equivalent resistance = 19+19 = 38 ohm

Potential difference = 10 V

V/I = R

I ( current ) = V/R = 10 V / 38 ohm = 0.26 ampere
