A 12 volt car battery pushes a charge through the headlight circuit with a resistance of 8.5 ohms. How much current is passing through the circuit

Verified Answer :

Data:
i (current) = ? (Amps)
R (resistance) = 8.5 Ω
V (voltage) = 12 volts

Formula:
\(V = R*i\to \boxed{i = \frac{V}{R} }\)

Solving:
\(i = \frac{V}{R}\)
\(i = \frac{12}{8.5}\)
\(\boxed{\boxed{i \approx 1.41\:Amps}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark\)

The amount of current passing through the circuit is 1.41 amps

The calculation can be done as follows;

The voltage of the car is 12 volts

The resistance is 8.5 ohms

The current can be calculated as follows

= voltage/resistance

= 12/8.5

= 1.41 amps

Hence the current of the car is 1.41 amps
