Answer: 0.4 Amps

Explanation:

Voltage of battery = 24 Volts

Current I = ?

Resistance of searchlight (R)= 60ohms (Ω is the symbol for ohms)

Then, apply the formula for ohms law

Voltage = Current x resistance

i.e V = I x R

24V = I x 60Ω

I = 24V / 60Ω

I = 0.4 Amps (Amps is the unit of current)

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.4 Amps

Is position a base or derived quantity?
amid [387]

Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental  quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

  • Mass
  • Length (position)
  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Volume
  • Area
  • Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.
