Question

Four resistors are wired in series with a 120 V source, with values of 8.0 ohms, 12 ohms, 14 ohms, and 16 ohms. What is the total current in the circuit?

A. 2.4 A
B. 3.0 A
C. 2.0 A
D. 7.5 A

PLEASE HELP. NO LINKS.

Answer 1

Resistors in series

Equivalent Resistance = 8+12+14+16=50ohms

V=IR

I = V/R

= 120/50

=2.4A

OPTION A
