Chapter SH, Problem 6.2APP

To determine

To calculate: Current in a circuit.

Answer to Problem 6.2APP

Current in the circuit is $\underset{\_}{3\text{ A}}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Resistance = $3.0\Omega$

Voltage difference = $9.0\text{ V}$

Formula used:

Current is given by,

  $I=\frac{V}{R}$

where V is voltage difference and R is resistance.

Calculation:

Current is calculated as:

  $\begin{array}{l}I=\frac{V}{R}\\ I=\frac{9.0\text{ V}}{3.0\Omega }\\ I=3\text{ A}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Current in the circuit is $\underset{\_}{3\text{ A}}$ .
