Answer:
0.6 Ω
Explanation:
As shown in the diagram below,
Since the resistance and the ammeter are connected in series,
(i) The same amount of current flows through them.
(ii) The sum of their individual individual voltage is equal to the total voltage of the circuit.
Applying ohm's law,
V = IR................ Equation 1
Where V = Voltage across the ammeter, I = current flowing through the ammeter, R = resistance of the ammeter.
make R the subject of the equation
R = V/I............... Equation 2
Given: V = 1.2-0.9 = 0.3 V, I = 0.5 A.
Substitute into equation 2
R = 0.3/0.5
R = 0.6 Ω
