An ammeter with a resistance of 5.0 ohm is connected in series with a 3.0V cell and a lamp rated at 300 mA, 3V. Calculate the current that the ammeter will measure.

Answer:

I = 0.2 A

Explanation:

Lamp is rated at 300 mA

I_lamp = 300 mA = 0.3 A

Voltage is; V = 3V

Thus; Resistance is given by;

R = V/I

R = 3/0.3

R = 10 ohms

Now, since the ammeter of 5 ohms is connected in series with the lamp. Thus equivalent resistance;

R_eq = 10 + 5

R_eq = 15 ohms

Ammeter current will be;

I = V/R_eq

I = 3/15

I = 0.2 A
