question_answer 9)

A battery of 9 V is connected in series with resistors of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 12. How much current would flow through the 12 resistor?

Answer:

Since all the resistors are in seies, equivalent resistance, Rs = 0.2  + 0.3  + 0.4  + 0.5  + 12  = 13.4   Current through the circuit, I = In series, same current (I) flows through all the resistors. Thus, current flowing through 12  resistor = 0.67 A
