In a circuit with an applied voltage of 120 V and a total resistance of 60 ohms, how much current flows through each resistor?
A) 1 A
B) 2 A
C) 3 A
D) 4 A

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using Ohm's Law, we can calculate the total current in the circuit:

I = V/R

I = 120 V / 60 ohms

I = 2 A

Since there are no specific values given for individual resistors, we can assume that they are equal in value. Therefore, the current flowing through each resistor will be the same.

So, the current flowing through each resistor will be:

I = 2 A / 2 resistors = 1 A per resistor

Therefore, the correct choice is B.
