Question

You have a series circuit with a current of 6 amps and three resistors on it, with resistances of 10 ohms, 5 ohms, and 6 ohms, respectively. What is the voltage of this circuit? Show your calculation.

Please show work

Answer 1

For this problem, you first find the net resistance of the circuit which can be done by adding up the resistors since this circuit is a series. 10Ω+5Ω+6Ω=21Ω

Since we are given the current of 6A, we can use Ohm’s Law of V=IR.

V=6A*21Ω

V=126 volts
