Answer 1

To find the resulting current in the circuit, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that I = V/R, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance.

First, we need to find the total resistance in the circuit, which is the sum of the resistances in series: R_total = R1 + R2 = 4.00 ohms + 2.00 ohms = 6.00 ohms.

Then, we can use Ohm's Law to find the current: I = V/R_total = 20.0 V / 6.00 ohms = 3.33 A.

Therefore, the resulting current in the circuit is 3.33 A.
