a 7.2 ohm resistor and a 5.9 ohm resistor are connected in series to a 38.1V battery of negligible internal resistance. what is the current in the 7.2 ohm resistor?
Added by Alfonso T.
Step 1
Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (R_total) is the sum of the individual resistances. \[ R_{total} = R_1 + R_2 = 7.2 \, \Omega + 5.9 \, \Omega = 13.1 \, \Omega \] Show more…
