Question 112Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) 2 amps. The current flowing through R3 can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the current (I) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R). In this circuit, the voltage across the series resistors R1, R2, and R3 is the battery voltage of 12 VDC. The total resistance of the series circuit is the sum of the individual resistances, which is 2 ohms + 3 ohms + 6 ohms = 11 ohms. Therefore, the current flowing through the entire circuit, and thus through R3, is 12 VDC / 11 ohms = 1.09 amps. Since R3 has a resistance of 6 ohms, the current flowing through R3 is 1.09 amps, which is closest to the answer choice of 2 amps. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the current flowing through R3 based on the given information and Ohm's law.
