hope this helped <3
Thank you! I got a 100!!
dunno why the bots taking credit but tysm mmyoui thats 100 percent correct
mmyoui is correct!! :3
Thank you for your confirmation! Please let me know if you need help with anything else.
I have 4 questions
Sure, I'd be happy to help you with your questions. What are they?
To find the amperage (current) of the circuit, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R), represented by the equation:
I = V / R
In this case, we are given that the voltage (V) is 1.5 volts and the resistance (R) is 2.4 ohms. Plugging these values into the equation, we get:
I = 1.5 V / 2.4 Ω
Calculating this, we find that the amperage (I) is approximately 0.625 A.
Therefore, the answer provided (2.5 A) may be incorrect, and the correct amperage of the circuit is approximately 0.625 A.
