Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a circuit with a 24V battery and two 8Ω resistors in series, what is the total current? (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the voltage of the battery, which is 24V.
  • Step 2: Identify the resistance of each resistor, which is 8Ω.
  • Step 3: Since the resistors are in series, add their resistances together: 8Ω + 8Ω = 16Ω.
  • Step 4: Use Ohm's Law to find the current. Ohm's Law states that Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R).
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: I = 24V / 16Ω.
  • Step 6: Calculate the current: 24V divided by 16Ω equals 1.5A.
