Question
When a 4 Ω resistor is connected across the terminals of a 12 V battery, the number of coulombs passing through the resistor per second is:
(a) 0.3
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 12
Advertisements
Solution
(b) 3
The number of coulombs passing through the resistor is the current passing through it.
Current = Voltage/Resistance
I = V/R
I = 12/4
I = 3 A
Thus, when a 4 Ω resistor is connected across the terminals of a 12 V battery, the number of coulombs passing through the resistor per second will be 3.
