A battery of 9 V is connected in series with resistors of 0.2, 0.3
, 0.4
, 0.5
and 12
respectively. How much current would flow through the 12
resistor?
All the resistors are connected in series.
Thus, equivalent resistance, R = 0.2 + 0.3
+ 0.4
+ 0.5
+ 12 = 13.4
Potential difference, V = 9 V
And, Current, I=?
Since in series connection, the current throughout the circuit is same. Therefore, 0.67 A will flow through the 12 resistor.
