To draw: An electrical series circuit with given specifications.
Answer to Problem 8PP
An electrical series circuit with given specifications is shown in Figure 1.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Voltage of the battery,
Resistance of resistor,
Formula used:
According to Ohm’s law, the voltage-current relationship is
Calculation:
Series Circuit:
A circuit in which one or more resistors are connected one by one in a chain making a single path is a series circuit.
The current through all the resistors is same and the total voltage is distributed to all the resistors.
The series circuit for the given specification is,
Figure 1
The direction of conventional current is from positive to negative terminal outside the battery and negative to positive terminal inside the battery.
The value of current is,
So, the ammeter will read
