A 6V battery is connected to two resistors (3Ω and 6Ω) in series. What current flows through the 3Ω resistor?
A.2 A
B.1.5 A
C.0.67 A
D.1 A
Explanation
Core Concept
In series, total resistance = 3 + 6 = 9Ω. Current I = V/R = 6/9 = 0.67 A. In a series circuit, the same current flows through all components.
Correct Answer
C0.67 A
