Solve the problem. Round your answer to two decimal places.
-According to Ohmʹs law, the electric current I, in amperes, in a circuit varies directly as the voltage V. When 14 volts are applied, the current is 4 amperes. What is the current when 6 volts are
Applied?
A) 1.71 amperes
B) 3.5 amperes
C) 21 amperes
D) 24 amperes

Ohm's law states that I = V/R, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance. Given that 14 volts produce 4 amperes, we can find the resistance (R = V/I = 14/4 = 3.5 ohms). To find the current at 6 volts, use I = V/R = 6/3.5 = 1.71 amperes.
