The resistance of the wire in the windings of an electric starter motor for an automobile is 0.0190 Ohms. the motor is connected to a 12 V battery. What current will flow through the motor when it is stalled?
nevermind. im dumb. just got my answer switched around. don't need help anymore
To find the current flowing through the motor when it is stalled, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that the current flowing through a conductor is equal to the voltage across the conductor divided by the resistance of the conductor.
First, we need to calculate the current using Ohm's Law:
I = V / R
Where:
I = Current (in Amperes)
V = Voltage (in Volts)
R = Resistance (in Ohms)
Given:
V = 12 V
R = 0.0190 Ohms
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
I = 12 V / 0.0190 Ohms
Now, let's calculate:
I ≈ 631.58 Amperes
Therefore, the current flowing through the motor when it is stalled is approximately 631.58 Amperes.
