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.


A circuit has a battery connected to resistor 1 and resistor 1 is connected to resistor 2 which is then connected back to the battery what can be said about this circuit?

This circuit is a series circuit, as the current flows sequentially through resistor 1, then through resistor 2, before returning to the battery. The same current passes through both resistors, and the total resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. The voltage across the circuit is divided between the two resistors according to their resistance values. Additionally, if one resistor fails, the entire circuit will be interrupted, stopping the current flow.


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