Question

Help please!

Answer 1

A 45 V battery is connected to a 10.0 Ω resistor and a 5.0 Ω resistor in series. What will be the total current in the circuit?

Answer 2

0.33 A

3.0 A

4.5 A

9.0 A

Answer 3

using I = V/R (Ohm's Law) V = 45 R = 15
I = 45/15
I = 3/1
I = 3.0 A

So I believe the second 3.0A answer is correct.

(I believe when resistors are connected in parallel they can just be added together)

Answer 4

Thank you! What about this one?
If you have a 45.0 V battery connected to a 10.0 Ω resistor and a 5.00 Ω resistor in series, what will be the total power output in the circuit?
45.0 W

135 W

203 W

405 W

Answer 6

Nevermind I figured it out! Thank you!

Answer 7

From the last question we found that the amperage (A) = 3.0, We are told that the voltage (V) = 45.0
To calculate Wattage (W) you need to times Voltage (V) by Amperage (A)
so W = AV
W = 3 * 45
W = 135 W
so the second answer

Answer 8

That's what I got as well
