Question

A 4. 0 Ω resistor, an 8. 0 Ω resistor, and a 12. 0 Ω resistor are connected in series with a 24. 0 V battery. A. Calculate the equivalent resistance. B. Calculate the current in the circuit. C. What is the current in each resistor?.

Answer 1

it should be known that equivalent resistance of resistors in series is determined by adding all the resistance

R=R1+R2+R3.... +Rn

R=4+8+12

R=24ohms

B. V=IR

I=V/R

I=24/24

I=1A

C. since the resistors are connected in series,they all have the same current
