Know the Answer?

Rylan Pennington · Answer 1

Current = Voltage/Resistance

= 1.5/3

Current = 0.5 amps - A

Joselyn Cabrera · Answer 2

Option (A)

Explanation:

According to Ohm's law, at constant temperature, the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across the conductor.

V = IR

Where I be the current and R be the resistance.

So, according to the questions

1.5 = I * 3

I = 0.5 A
