Given that the resistance remains constant, if the voltage decreases to one-third of its original amount, the resulting current in the circuit is 0.4A

<h3>What is Ohm's Law?</h3>

Ohm’s law states that the potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current flowing through the resistance.

It is expressed as;

V = IR

Where V is the voltage or potential difference, potential difference, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Given that;

Initially, A circuit has a current I = 1.2A

V = IR

R = V/I

R = V/1.2A ...... let this be equation 1

Next, voltage decreases to one-third of its original amount while the resistance remains constant.

Meaning Voltage = 1/3 of V = V/3

Hence;

V = IR

V/3 = IR

From equation 1 ( R = V/1.2A )

V/3 = I × V/1.2A

V/3 = IV/1.2A

We cross multiply

V1.2A = 3IV

I = V1.2A / 3V

I = 1.2A / 3

I = 0.4A

Therefore, given that the resistance remains constant, if the voltage decreases to one-third of its original amount, the resulting current in the circuit is 0.4A

Answer:

0.4 A

Step-by-step explanation:

When resistance is constant, current is proportional to voltage. When 1/3 the voltage is applied, 1/3 the current will result. (1/3)* (1.2 A) = 0.4 A The resulting current will be 0.4 A.

Burka [1]

Answer:

Box A's volume is bigger by 864 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

12 × 18 × 24 = 5184

12 × 12 × 30 = 4320

Then we subtract. 5184 - 4320 = 864
