help please

When a 20 V battery is hooked up to a 10 Ω resistor in a circuit, how much current flows through the circuit? 0.5 A 2 A 20 A 200 A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B = 2 A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is B

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

Can you explain why it's B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V = i R 20 = i (10) i = 2 amps so yes, b

Thank you! Can you help me with this one? If 0.375 A of current moves across the resistor shown, then what is the value of the resistor? 0.25 Ω 0.56 Ω 1.5 Ω 4.0 Ω

it might be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kkbrookly

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

why's that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.375 A (the current) resistor divides the voltage. 0.375 * 1.5 = 0.5625 so just usually, to find the resistor, just multiply, instead of dividing. like for the last problem.
