A 3 V battery is connected in series with ammeter and 2 ohm resistance after short circuiting. What will be the reading of ammeter?

Correct answer: B. 1.5 A

  • A. 1 A
  • B. 1.5 A
  • C. 5 A
  • D. 6 A

Explanation

Given: Voltage = V = 3V Resistance = R = 2Ω Current = I = ? As we know that: V = IR I = V / R = 3 / 2 I = 1.5 A

About Steady Current

Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
