Question

a 6 ohm, 5 ohm, and 8 ohm resistor are connected in series with a 30V battery. What is the total resistance and current throught the 8 ohm resistor

A) Total Resistance=19 ohm. Current=0.63A

B) Total Resistance=19 ohm. Current=1.58A

C) Total Resistance=2.03 ohm. Current=1.58A

D) Total Resistance=2.03 ohm. Current=14.75A

Expert Solution
Step 1

Accoding to Ohm's law

    V = IR

    V is the potential difference.

    I is the current flowing in the circuit.

    R is the resistance.

Also in a series circuit,

                   net resistance is the sum of all resistors.

     i.e.     Rnet = R1 + R2 +R3 + .....
