In a simple electric circuit, a 24-ohm resistor is

connected across a 6.0-volt battery. What is the

current in the circuit?

(1) 1.0 A (3) 140 A

(2) 0.25 A (4) 4.0 A

We already know

Voltage = Current * Resistance

So Current = Voltage / Resistance

Now we have to take note of all the information's that are already given in the question. The answer to the question can be easily deduced from the information's provided in the question.

Voltage of the circuit = 6.0 V

Resistance of the circuit = 24 ohm

Then

Current = 6/24 ampere

= 1/4 ampere

= 0.25 ampere

So the current in the circuit will be 0.25 A. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "2".

V=ir so V/r=i So I = 6/24=0.25
