The formula for speed is distance traveled divided by time
Answer:
30 miliAmps
Explanation:
Step 1:
Obtaining an expression to solve the question. This is illustrated below:
From ohm's law,
V = IR
Were:
V is the voltage.
I is the current.
R is resistance.
From the question given, we were told that the resistance is constant. Therefore the above equation can be written as shown below:
V = IR
V/I = constant
V1/I1 = V2/I2
V1 is initial voltage.
V2 final voltage.
I1 is initial current.
I2 final current.
Step 2:
Data obtained from the question. This include the following:
Initial voltage (V1) = V
Initial current (I1) = 60 miliAmps
Final voltage (V2) = one-half of the original voltage = 1/2V = V/2
Final current (I2) =..?
Step 3:
Determination of the new current. This can be obtained as follow:
V1/I1 = V2/I2
V/60 = (V/2) / I2
Cross multiply to express in linear form
V x I2 = V/2 x 60
V x I2 = V x 30
Divide both side by V
I2 = (V x 30)/V
I2 = 30mA.
Therefore, the new current is 30miliAmps
