Voltage (volts) is equal to the current (amps) times the resistance (ohms):

V = I*R

Thus, the current I = V/R = 12 V / 3 Ohm = 4 A.

If two bulbs in a series are connect to a battery and the current in the first bulb is found to be 1 ampere then what is the current through the battery?

A circuit with a 2 ohm resistor and a 4 ohm resistor in series with a 12 volt battery will have 2 amps flowing through each resistor. The current is the same in each resistor because they are in series, and a series circuit has constant current throughout.


Why does a resistor heat up when an electric current flows through it?

Current moving through a resistor causes it to heat up because of the flowing electrons bumping into the atoms in the resistor.


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


Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?

Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.


Is current is drop when it flowing through the resistor?

Current flows in loops, voltage drops across elements. With relation to current, what flows in, must flow out, so no, current is not dropped across a resistor, it flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across the resistor.


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.


What is the current drop across the resistor?

The correct question is what is the voltage drop across a resistor or the current flowing through the resistor using Ohm's Law where Voltage = Current x Resistance


What is resistor and its use and working?

resistor is a passive component which opposes the current flowing through a closed ckt. use in opposition of current in ckt .


How much power is consumed through a 3 amp?

-- If the 3 Amp is being drawn from a battery,then the battery is supplying3 x (Voltage of the battery) watts.-- If the 3 Amp is flowing through a resistor,then the resistor is dissipating9 x (Resistance of the resistor) watts.


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

The current depends on the total effecvtive resistance of everything connectedacross the battery.If the resistor is the only component there, then the current is E/R = 12/3 = 4 amperes.


Does current flow through a resistor or across a resistor?

Normally through the resistor's internal construction. It flows through any part of the resistor that has low resistance- be it anywere. And then there's this. It might be that one should consider that current flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across a resistor. Perhaps this is where the question began. The former is fairly straight forward. The latter can be vexing. Voltage is said to be dropped across a resistor when current is flowing through it. The voltage drop may be also considered as the voltage measureable across that resistor or the voltage "felt" by that resistor. It's as if that resistor was in a circuit by itself and hooked up to a battery of that equivalent voltage.
