Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A circuit has a voltage of 12V and a resistance of 4Ω. What is the current flowing through the circuit?
Correct Answer: 3A
  • Step 1: Identify the voltage in the circuit, which is given as 12V.
  • Step 2: Identify the resistance in the circuit, which is given as 4Ω.
  • Step 3: Recall Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) equals voltage (V) divided by resistance (R).
  • Step 4: Write the formula: I = V / R.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: I = 12V / 4Ω.
  • Step 6: Perform the division: 12 divided by 4 equals 3.
  • Step 7: Conclude that the current flowing through the circuit is 3A.
  • Ohm's Law – Ohm's Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor.
