Question

A series circuit contains three 2 Ω resistors and a 6 Ω resistor. The current in each resistor is 4. 0 A. What is the voltage of the battery in the circuit? 2. 0 V 3. 0 V 32 V 48 V.

Answer 1

The voltage is a representation of the electric potential energy per unit charge.

The voltage across the circuit is 48 V. Option D shows the voltage across the circuit.

What is the voltage?

Voltage is defined as the difference in electric potential between two points.

Given that a series circuit contains three 2 Ω resistors and a 6 Ω resistor. The current in each resistor is 4.0 A.

The total resistance across the series circuit is given below.

$R = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + R_4$

Where R is total resistance, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are resistors that are connected in series.

$R = 2+ 2+2+6$

$R = 12 \;\rm ohm$

The resistors are connected in series hence the current flows across the two points of the circuit are the same which is 4.0 A.

The voltage across the circuit is,

$V = IR$

$V = 4.0 \times 12$

$V = 48.0 \;\rm V$

Hence we can conclude that the voltage across the circuit is 48 V. Option D shows the voltage across the circuit.
