In the series circuit, if the current through
R1 is 1.5 A, what is the current through R2?
1. Unable to determine
2. 1.5 A
3. 1 A
4. 0.5 A
5. 3 A
The answer is 1.5A (B)
has to be the same current.
To determine the current through R2 in a series circuit, we need additional information. In a series circuit, the current remains constant throughout all the components. So, if the current through R1 is 1.5 A, the current through R2 would also be 1.5 A (option 2).
To determine the current through R2 in a series circuit, we can use the fact that in a series circuit, the total current is the same across all components.
In this case, if the current through R1 is 1.5 A, then the current through R2 would also be 1.5 A.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: 1.5 A.
