Can anyone help?
the resistance of the side lights on an automobile are 10 ohms. How much current flows in them when connected to 12 volts
1.2 amps?
I don't know if that's right that's what I got but wasn't sure
That is correct.
Yes, I can help you with that. To calculate the current flowing through a circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R). In this case, we have a voltage of 12 volts and a resistance of 10 ohms.
So, using the formula: I = V / R
We can substitute the given values: I = 12 V / 10 Ω
Now, let's calculate it:
I = 1.2 A
Therefore, the current flowing through the side lights when connected to 12 volts is 1.2 Amperes (or 1.2 Amps).
