In a simple electric circuit, a 24-ohm resistor is connected across a 6. 0-volt battery. What is the current in the circuit?.

Hi there!

We can use the equation:


V = IR

V = Potential Difference (V)
I = Current (A)
R = Resistance (Ω)

Rearrange to solve for current:


I = (V)/(R)

Plug in values and solve.


I = (24)/(6) = \boxed{4 A}
