Question

A battery is connected to a 10 resistor and produces a current of 0.2 A in the circuit. If the resistor is replaced with a 20 resistor, what is the new
current in the circuit?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1 A

Explanation:

From the question,

V = IR............ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = Resistance.

Given: I = 0.2 A, R = 10 ohms.

Substitute into equation 1

V = 0.2(10)

V = 2 volt,

If the resistor is replaced with a 20 resistor, The nwe current is

I = V/R................ Equation 2

I = 2/20

I = 0.1 A
