A battery supplies a constant current of I = 15 mA to the circuit of a flashlight with a resistance of R = 4.1 kΩ.
a.) Input an expression for the potential difference across the terminals of the battery, ΔV.
b.) What is this potential difference in volts?
c.) Keeping the resistance the same, if the flashlight battery has a potential difference of ΔV = 7.5 V, how much current flows through the circuit, in amperes?
