Question

In a simple circuit a 6-volt dry cell pushes charge through a single lamp which has a resistance of 3 Ω. According to Ohms law the current through the circuit is _____________ Amps.

Answer 1

ANSWER:

2 Amps

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Voltage (V) = 6 V

Resistance (R) = 3 Ω

We calculate the current using Ohm's law, like this:

$\begin{gathered} I=\frac{V}{R} \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ I=\frac{6}{3} \\ \\ I=2\text{ amps} \end{gathered}$

The current through the circuit is 2 Amps
