Question

You have a large flashlight that takes 4 D-cell batteries, each with a voltage of 1.5 volts. If the current in the flashlight is 2.0 amps, what is the
resistance?
A 12 ohms
B 0.75 ohms
C 3.0 ohms
D.0.5 ohms
E. 6.0 ohms

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "C. 3.0 ohms". 

Explanation:

Ohm's law states the following:,

V = IR

where:

Voltage (V) = 1.5 volts × 4 batteries = 6.0 volts

Current (I) = 2.0 amps

Resistance (R) = ? ohms

To solve for Resistance (R) the equation must be rearranged this way:

 R = V / I

Then, the variables must be replaced with the known values:

 R = 6.0 volts / 2.0 amp

R = 3.0 ohms

The answer is  C. 3.0 ohms.
