A 30-ohm resistor is connected across a 6-volt battery. What current does it draw?

  1. A 2 amperes
  2. B 0.5 amperes
  3. C 0.005 amperes
  4. D 0.2 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.
