Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 58P
You are measuring the current in a circuit tha is operated on a 10 V battery. The ammeter reads 50 mA. Later, ou noice that the current has dropped to 30 mA. Eliminating the possibility of a resistance change, you must conclude that the voltage has changed. How much has the voltage of the battery changed, and what is the new value?
