Question

1. a series circuit contains eight resistors. the total resistance in the circuit is 240 volts, and the total resistance is 240 \\(\omega\\). this results in a total circuit current of 1 ampere. what is the current value through resistor 7?

0.125 a

8 a

240 a

1 a

Explanation:

Identify the circuit configuration

$$ \text{Circuit Type} = \text{Series Circuit} $$

Apply the current rule for series circuits

$$ I_{\text{total}} = I_1 = I_2 = \dots = I_8 = 1\text{ A} $$

Determine the current through resistor 7

$$ I_7 = 1\text{ A} $$

Answer:

• (A) 0.125 A
• (B) 8 A
• (C) 240 A
• (D) 1 A (Correct answer)
