Given:
Value of resistance,
Value of resistance,
Value of resistance,
Value of resistance,
Voltage of battery,
Formula used:
Equivalent resistance for series combination can be obtained by:
Ohm’s law:
Here, I is the current, V is the potential difference and R is the resistance.
Power in the circuit can be obtained by:
Calculations:
Using Ohm’s law, current in the circuit is:
Power in the circuit is:
Conclusion:
Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.2 A and power is 1.6 W.
