Question

A 10-volt power supply is placed in a series with two 5-ohm resistors. What is the current in the circuit after it passes through each of the two resistors?

a.) The current will drop to 2 amps after the first resistor and then to 1 amp after the second resistor.

b.) The current will stay the same at 2 amps after passing through both resistors.

c.) The current will drop to 1 amp after the first resistor and then to 0 amps after the second resistor.

d.) The current will stay the same at 1 amp after passing through both resistors.

Answer 1

C) The current will stay the same at 1 amp after passing through both resistors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answers to the whole quick check:

1) b. The current stays the same throughout the circuit.

2) c. The current will stay the same at 1 amp after passing through both resistors.

3) c. R1: 12 V R2: 12 V

4) d. I1 is equal to I2

5) a. The sum of the current flowing in is equal to the sum of current flowing out.

Hope this helps!
