Question

The circuit below shows three different resistors connected in series to a battery. The ammeter reading is 120 A. How much current flows through each resistor?

• A. 40 A
• B. 120 A
• C. 360 A
• D. We cannot determine the current values without knowing the resistor values.
• E. We cannot determine the current values with knowing the battery voltage.

Answer 1

The correct option is B 120 A

As the three resistors are connected in series with each other as well as the battery, thus the same current flows through each resistor and the current is equal to the current flowing through the circuit i.e $120$ A
