Question

A series circuit is formed with a 10-V power supply and two resistors, where R1 = 6 ohms and R2 = 4 ohms. The current through the resistors is I1 and I2, respectively. What are the values of I1 and I2?

I1 = I2 = 1.0 A

I1 = I2 = 0.5 A

I1 = 0.6 A; I2 = 0.4 A

I1 = 1.67 A; I2 = 2.5 A

Answer 1

for a series circuit ... current = supply voltage / total resistance

I1 = I2 = 10 v / (6Ω + 4Ω)

Answer 2

I1=I2= 1.0 A

Answer 3

a series circuit is formed with a 20 v power supply and R1 =6 ohms and R2 =4 ohms the current through the resistors is l1 and l2 respectively
