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 trial had been performed using Resistor 3 and 12 V, the current would have been:

Correct answer: A. 1.25 amp

  • A. 1.25 amp
  • B. 1.75 amp
  • C. 2.25 amp
  • D. 2.80 amp

Explanation

The correct answer is 1.25 amp. By applying Ohm's Law (V = IR) and considering the resistor value of 3 ohms and voltage of 12 V, the current can be calculated as 12V / 3 ohms = 4 amp. Since this calculation is for Resistor 3, the total current would be 4 amp / 3 resistors = 1.25 amp. The other options provided do not match the correct calculation based on the given values in the question.
