Question

A circuit contains a 12V power supply and two 100ohm resistors that are connected in series. What total current value would you expect to measure in this circuit

Answer 1

Answer:total current =0.06A

Step-by-step explanation:

The total resistance of Resistors connected in series is given as

Rs = R1 + R2 + R3....

Here, we have that two resistors are connected in series

therefore,

Rs = 100 + 100 = 200 Ω

But current according to ohm's law is given as

I= V/R

where I= current in ampere, A

V= Voltage in volts, V and

R= Resistance, in ohms,Ω

therefore,

I= V/Rs

I = 12/ 200 = 0.06 A
