A 6V battery is linked in series with a 20 resistance electric bulb and a 4 resistance cable. Create a circuit schematic and perform the following calculations: a) The circuit’s total resistance b) the amount of electricity flowing through the circuit
A 6V battery is linked in series with a 20 resistance electric bulb and a 4 resistance cable. Create a circuit schematic and perform the following calculations: a) The circuit’s total resistance b) the amount of electricity flowing through the circuit

a)

given R1=20 , R2 =4,

Total resistance of the circuit is given as:

R = R1 + R2 = 20 + 4 = 24Ω

b) We know that,

V = IR

Therefore,

6 = 24I

I = 6/24 = 0.25amp
