Answer: Option C) 3A

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 90.0 Volts

Current I = ?

R1 = 5.0Ω

R2 = 10.0Ω

R3 = 15.0Ω

Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3

Rtotal = 5.0Ω + 10.0Ω + 15.0Ω = 30.0Ω

Then, apply the formula for ohms law

Voltage = Current x resistance

V = I x Rtotal

90.0V = I x 30.0Ω

I = 90.0V / 30.0Ω

I = 3 Amps (Amps is the unit of current)

Thus, the current in the circuit is 3 Amps

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.
