A 2.0-V battery is connected in a circuit with an ammeter and an unknown resistor, P. The current is observed to be 0.70 A. What would be the current in the circuit if a 12-V battery replaces the 2.0-V battery?

Sagot :

Answer:

4.2 A

Explanation:

V=IR

V= voltage

I= Current

R= resistance

so you will find the resistance in the circuit so

R= V/I

R=2V/0.70A

R=2.857 ohms ( TO THE NEAREST THOUSANDTH)

then you will find the current of the 12V battery using the resistance in the circuit

I=V/R

I=12/2.857

I=4.2A (TO THE NEAREST TENTH)
