Question

Use the information in the table about four different electric circuits to answer the question

Answer 1

Answer:

Circuit 4

Explanation:

To know the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the current in each circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

For circuit 1:

Resistance (R) = 0.5 ohms

Voltage (V) = 20 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

20 = I × 0.5

Divide both side by 0.5

I = 20 / 0.5

I = 40 A

For circuit 2:

Resistance (R) = 0.5 ohms

Voltage (V) = 40 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

40 = I × 0.5

Divide both side by 0.5

I = 40 / 0.5

I = 80 A

For circuit 3:

Resistance (R) = 0.25 ohms

Voltage (V) = 40 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

40 = I × 0.25

Divide both side by 0.25

I = 40 / 0.25

I = 160 A

For circuit 4:

Resistance (R) = 0.25 ohms

Voltage (V) = 60 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

60 = I × 0.25

Divide both side by 0.25

I = 60 / 0.25

I = 240 A

SUMMARY

Circuit >>>>>> Current

1 >>>>>>>>>>> 40 A

2 >>>>>>>>>>> 80 A

3 >>>>>>>>>>> 160 A

4 >>>>>>>>>>> 240 A

From the above calculation, circuit 4 has the greatest electric current.
