A series circuit contains a 30 Ω resistor, a 20 Ω resistor, and a 10 Ω resistor. The power supply provides 100 V to the circuit.

The current in the 10 Ω resistor, to two significant figures, is
A.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is 1.7 Amps.    

Answer:

The current in the 10 ohm resistance is 1.67 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage v = 100 V

A series circuit contains a 30 Ω resistor, a 20 Ω resistor, and a 10 Ω resistor.

[tex]R =R_{1}+R_{2}+R_{3}[/tex]

[tex]R = 30+20+10[/tex]

[tex]R= 60\ ohm[/tex]

Using Ohm's law

The voltage of the circuit is the product of the current and resistance.

[tex]V = I\times R[/tex]

[tex]I =\dfrac{V}{R}[/tex]

[tex]I = \dfrac{100}{60}[/tex]

[tex]I = 1.67\ A[/tex]

The current will be same in all resistance because all resistance in series.

Hence, The current in the 10 ohm resistance is 1.67 A.
