- Question
Four equal-value resistors are in series with a 12 V battery and 13.63 mA are measured. The value of each resistor is
Options- A. 22 Ω
- B. 220 Ω
- C. 880 Ω
- D. 88 Ω
- Correct Answer
- 220 Ω
ExplanationTotal Resistance, r = 12 / 13.63= 0.880 in ohms
Total Resistance, r= 880
Each resistance value = r/4
= 880/4
Each resistance value = 220 ohms.

Options- A. 12.5 Ω
- B. 200 Ω
- C. 20 KΩ
- D. 50 Ω Discuss
Correct Answer: 20 KΩ
Explanation:
10/(R/4) = 2 mA
40/R = 2 mA
R = 40/2 mA
= 40/0.002 A
= 20000 kohm (20 kohm)
