Answer 1

To find the current produced with a voltage of 6.0 V and a resistance of 445 ohms, you can use Ohm's Law, which is given by the formula:

\[ I = \frac{V}{R} \]

where:
- \( I \) is the current in amperes (A),
- \( V \) is the voltage in volts (V),
- \( R \) is the resistance in ohms (Ω).

Plugging in the values:

\[ I = \frac{6.0 \, \text{V}}{445 \, \Omega} \]

Calculating this:

\[ I = \frac{6.0}{445} \approx 0.01348 \, \text{A} \]

To convert amperes to milliamperes (mA), multiply by 1000:

\[ I \approx 0.01348 \, \text{A} \times 1000 \approx 13.48 \, \text{mA} \]

Rounding to two decimal places gives approximately 13.5 mA.

Thus, the correct response is:

**13.5 mA**
