A circuit has a 10 Ω resistor connected to a 1.5 V dry cell. What is the current that can flow in the circuit?

  • Resistance=R=10ohm
  • Potential energy=V=1.5V
  • Current=I=?

Using ohms law


\boxed{\sf (V)/(I)=R}


\\ \sf\longmapsto I=(V)/(R)


\\ \sf\longmapsto I=(1.5)/(10)


\\ \sf\longmapsto I=0.15A

Here is the highly detailed, arcane, complex, technical form of Ohm's Law that is needed in order to answer this question ===> I = V / R .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (1.5 V) / (10 Ω)

Current = 0.15 Ampere
