A 30-ohm resistor is connected across a 6-volt battery. What current does it draw?
- A2 amperes
- B0.5 amperes
- C0.005 amperes
- D0.2 amperes
Correct answer: D — 0.2 amperes. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
To find the current, you divide the voltage by the resistance, which means taking 6 volts and dividing by 30 ohms. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
