If the battery provides a 12 V electromotive force and the resistors are each 10Ω, what is the current going through the resistor in region A in Amps?

1 answer

To find the current going through the resistor in region A, we need to first calculate the total resistance in the circuit. Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (R_total) is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 = 10Ω + 10Ω = 20Ω

Next, we can use Ohm's Law to calculate the current (I) flowing through the circuit:

I = V / R

where V is the electromotive force provided by the battery (12V) and R is the total resistance (20Ω).

I = 12V / 20Ω
I = 0.6 A

Therefore, the current going through the resistor in region A is 0.6 Amps.
