Current:
To calculate the current in the circuit, we can use Ohm's Law, which states:
I = V / R
Where:
I = current in the circuit (in Amperes)
V = voltage across the resistor (in Volts)
R = resistance of the resistor (in Ohms)
For the given voltage and resistance combinations:
1. When V = 10V and R = 20Ω:
I = 10 / 20 = 0.5 A
2. When V = 20V and R = 20Ω:
I = 20 / 20 = 1 A
3. When V = 30V and R = 30Ω:
I = 30 / 30 = 1 A
Therefore, the current in the circuit for the given resistor and voltage combinations is:
0.5 A, 1 A, 1 A
