∙ 9y agoSince it is a series circuit, the current is the same in all parts of the circuit. Just calculate the equivalent resistance, and use Ohm's Law.

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.
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.
What happens to the ammeter reading if resistor is removed?
Opening any circuit will stop the current from flowing.
What is the difference between resistor and insulator?
A resistor lets electricity flow, but in a calculated restriction of amount. An insulator prevents electricity from flowing across it - period.
The difference between charge and current?
Charge is potential, current is flowing.
A 5 ohm resistor a 10 ohm resistor and a 15 ohm resistor are connected in series to a 120 volt power source. What is the amount of current flowing between the 5 ohm resistor and the 10 ohm resistor?
The current would be about 20 volts.
What happens when more than one resistor is connected to a circuit?
the current flowing in will be low
Resistors A and B are connected in parallel If resistor B has twice the resistance of A what is the current taken by resistor B?
half of the current flowing thru resistor 1.... V=IR.
When two identical cells are connected either in series or parallel across a 2 ohm resistor they send the same current through it calculate the internal resistance of each cell?
as the given cells have the same current flowing in through them (current flowing through the cells connected in series is equal to the current flowing when connected in parallel ) equate the formula's of cells connected in series and cells connected in parallel.thus by equating we get the value of the internal resistor as 2 ohms.
In a simple series circuit where you have a 9V supply connected to a negative terminal with about 2 amps of current flowing you have a resistor of 100 ohms in between the 9V supply and 0V?
If a 9V supply is connected to a 100-ohm resistor, then the current is not 2 Amps,or even close to it.I = E/R = 9/100 = 0.09 amp.
You are just asking that let us assume you have connected 2 or 3 resistors in a circuit and the current flowing through the circuit and from all the resistors will be same but how?
If the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be the sum of the resistances of each resistor, and the current flow will be the same thru all of them. if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the current thru each resistor would depend on the resistance of that resistor, the total resistance would be the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistance of each resistor. Total current would depend on the voltage and the total resistance
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 .
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.
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.
Why ohm-meter can't read the resistance value when current flowing through a resistor?
ohm meter puts current thru a resistor to measure voltage drop E / I = R if the circuit already has current flowing the numbers are meaningless
A 6 volt battery is connected across a 10 ohm resistor what is the current flowing in the circuit?
V = 6 V R = 10 Ohm I = V/R = 0.6 A
