To calculate the current flowing through a circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that
\[ I = \frac{V}{R} \]
where:
- \( I \) is the current in amperes (A),
- \( V \) is the voltage in volts (V),
- \( R \) is the resistance in ohms (Ω).
In this case, we have:
- \( V = 16 \) volts,
- \( R = 4.0 \) ohms.
Now, plug these values into the formula:
\[ I = \frac{16 \, \text{V}}{4.0 \, \Omega} = 4.0 \, \text{A} \]
So, the current flowing through the circuit will be **4.0 amps**.
\[ I = \frac{V}{R} \]
where:
- \( I \) is the current in amperes (A),
- \( V \) is the voltage in volts (V),
- \( R \) is the resistance in ohms (Ω).
In this case, we have:
- \( V = 16 \) volts,
- \( R = 4.0 \) ohms.
Now, plug these values into the formula:
\[ I = \frac{16 \, \text{V}}{4.0 \, \Omega} = 4.0 \, \text{A} \]
So, the current flowing through the circuit will be **4.0 amps**.
