Three 20W resistors are connected in series across a 120 V generator. What is the total resistance of the circuit and what current flows in the circuit?

Answer :

Lanuelgo

The total resistance and current flowing through the circuit is equal to 60 Ohms and 2 Amperes respectively.

Given the following data:

Resistors = 20 Ohms.

Voltage = 120 Volts.

How to determine the total resistance.

Since the three resistors are connected in series, we would calculate their total resistance by adding them up as follows:

RT = R1 + R2 + R3

RT = 20 + 20 + 20

RT = 60 Ohms.

Next, we would determine the current that is flowing through the circuit by applying Ohm's law.

From Ohm's law, we have:

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 120/60

I = 2 Amperes.
