What is the total current in a circuit with a 10Ω resistor and a 5Ω resistor in series connected to a 30V battery? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the resistors in the circuit. We have a 10Ω resistor and a 5Ω resistor.
  • Step 2: Since the resistors are in series, add their resistances together. Calculate total resistance: 10Ω + 5Ω = 15Ω.
  • Step 3: Identify the voltage of the battery. The battery provides 30V.
  • 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 = 30V / 15Ω.
  • Step 6: Calculate the current: 30V divided by 15Ω equals 2A.
