Question

In the following diagram, the voltage is 1.5 volts and the resistance is 7.5 ohms. Use Ohm's law to determine the current in the circuit.

Answer 1

Answer: The current flowing through the circuit is 0.2 Amperes.

Explanation:

Ohm's Law is defined as the law which determines the relationship between current and potential difference across a resistor.

Mathematically,

$V=IR$

where,

V = Potential difference across the resistor = 1.5 V

I = Current flowing through the circuit = ? A

R = Resistor in the circuit = $7.5\Omega$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.5=I\times 7.5\\\\I=0.2A$

Hence, the current flowing through the circuit is 0.2 Amperes.

Answer 2

I believe it is 0.2 amps
