The current depends on the total effecvtive resistance of everything connected

across the battery.

If the resistor is the only component there, then the current is E/R = 12/3 = 4 amperes.

Is a battery a resistor if not what is?

No, a battery is not a resistor. A battery provides electrical energy, while a resistor is a component that restricts the flow of current in a circuit.


What device creates a potential difference in an electric circuit?

A battery is the device that creates a potential difference in an electric circuit. It establishes an electric field within the circuit that allows charges to move from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, creating an electrical current.


What is the current flowing through a 12volt battery that has 3ohm resistor that is attached to a dc circuit?

I=v/r, then 12/30=4/10=0.4amp


How does adding a resistor to an electric circuit affect the current flow?

Adding a resistor to an electric circuit reduces the current flow by impeding the flow of electrons. The resistor increases the resistance in the circuit, which in turn decreases the amount of current that can pass through.


In a simple circuit is a battery in series or parallel with the resistor?

In series.


What is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?

The type of circuit you are describing is known as a simple circuit. It consists of a power source (electric cell), a switch, a conductor (usually wire), and a resistor to control the flow of electric current.

What is meany by resistor?

Resistor is a component of an electric circuit that resist the flow of direct or alternating electric current . It can also limit or divide the current, reduce the voltage, protect an electric circuit, or provide large amounts of heat or light.


What does a resistor do in an electric circuit?

Limits current flow and drops voltage.


What is the function of resistor in electric circuit?

the function of a resister is to lower the voltage.


An electric DC circuit is attached to a 12 volt battery and has a 3 ohm resistor in it find the current flowing through the circuit?

If the 3-ohm resistor is the ONLY thing in the circuit, then the current flowing through it is (12 volts)/(3 ohms) = 4 amperes. If there are other things in the circuit besides the resistor, then the current depends on all of them.
