Answer: I = 9.0 A
Explanation: <u>Ohm's</u> <u>Law</u> is defined as the relationship between voltage and current: in a circuit, the voltage accross a conductor is directly proportional to the current.
The constant of proportionality is Resistance, whose unit is ohm (Ω).
so, Ohm's Law is
V = R.I
It is asked for the current, so, rearraging:
When added two more batteries, the voltage of the circuit triples:
Since they are directly proportional, if voltage triples, so does current:
9.0
The new current, when driven by 3 batteries is 9.0 A.
