A student studied the relationship between the current,voltage,and resistance in a direct circuit.To obtain the results presented in Figure 1 and Table 1,the student constructed the circuit shown below.The student used 3 resistors and different amounts of voltage generate Table 1.The current was read from the ammeter.To obtain the results in Table 1,a 5-ohm resistor (Resistor 4)was used varid .The current was measured at the power was then calculated.If a headlight uses 150 W and the car's battery produces 12 V, what is the current in the circuit?

Correct answer: A. 1.25 amp

  • A. 1.25 amp
  • B. 12.5 amp
  • C. 12.00 amp
  • D. 25.00 amp

Explanation

The correct answer is Option A: 1.25 amp. By using the formula P = IV and substituting the given values for power (150 W) and voltage (12 V), we can calculate the current as I = P/V = 150 W / 12 V = 1.25 A. The other options provide incorrect calculations or rounding errors based on the same formula.
