🔍 Key Concepts

• Use Ohm's Law for a simple DC series circuit: $I = \frac{E}{R}$ . • Pay attention to the units: volts (V), ohms (Ω), and amps (A) or milliamps (mA). • Figure A is a pure resistive load with the switch closed, so inductance or capacitance do not affect the calculation.

💭 Think About

• What is the correct formula that relates current, voltage, and resistance in a DC circuit like figure A? • If the voltage is 132 V and the resistance is 12 Ω, what numerical value do you get when you divide the voltage by the resistance? • Once you have the current in amps, which answer choice either matches that value in amps or is an equivalent value expressed in milliamps?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you’re using amps, not milliamps, in your initial calculation. • Confirm that you are dividing voltage by resistance (not the other way around). • If an option is in milliamps, convert your calculated amps to milliamps by multiplying by 1000 and see if it matches.
