Question

What is the current and voltage on an individual 6-ohm resistor?

Answer 1

Hint:A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component. It implements electrical resistance.
Ohm’s law states that the voltage across a resistor is proportional to the current, in which the constant of proportionality is the resistance.
The resistance is called the resistor's ability to reduce the current. It is the measurement in the units of ohms.

Complete step by step answer:
It is given that the data ${\text{R = 6 ohms}}$ and ${\text{V = 12 volts}}$
Equivalent resistance of the circuit ${R_{eq}} = 6 + 6 = 12ohms$
According to the Ohm’s law, $V = IR$
Hence we required current (\[I\]) in this sum.
So we have to find current by using this ohm formula,
By converting this formula,
$I = \dfrac{V}{{{R_{eq}}}}$
Putting the values and we get,
$I = \dfrac{{12}}{{12}} = 1 Amp$
To find voltage of \[{\text{6 ohms}}\] resistor
$V = IR$
By putting values of $I\& R$
$V = 1 \times 6$
$V = 6volts$

Note:Current is defined as the rate at which electric charge flows the circuit. It is measured in the unit of amps. Voltage is the cause of current.
A magnetic field is created when current passes through the circuit. It is measured by ammeter. Voltage is defined as the energy per unit charge.
It is measured in the units of volts. Voltage cannot exist without the current in any circuit. It is measured in voltmeter. An electrostatic field is created by voltmeter.
