12.oo volt battery is connected in a series to 4 identical 5.00 ohm resistors what is the current
R =4•Rₒ = 4•50 = 200 Ω
Ohm’s law
I =U/R = 12/200 =0.06 A
To find the current in this circuit, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) flowing through a circuit is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R). In this case, the voltage is 12.00 volts, and we have 4 identical resistors with a resistance of 5.00 ohms each.
First, we need to calculate the total resistance of the circuit. Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (R_total) is equal to the sum of the resistances of each resistor.
R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4
In this case, R_total = 5.00 ohms + 5.00 ohms + 5.00 ohms + 5.00 ohms = 20.00 ohms.
Now, we can use Ohm's Law to calculate the current.
I = V / R_total
I = 12.00 volts / 20.00 ohms = 0.60 amperes.
Therefore, the current flowing through the circuit is 0.60 amperes.
