Answer :
Final answer:
Using Ohm's law, the current through a 10 Ω resistor connected in parallel to a 12 V battery is found to be 1.20 A, which is answer C.
Explanation:
To find the current in the 10 Ω resistor which is connected in parallel with other resistors to a 12 V battery, we can use Ohm's law. Ohm's law states that V = IR, where V is the voltage across the resistor, I is the current through the resistor, and R is the resistance of the resistor. For a resistor in parallel, the voltage across it is the same as the voltage of the battery.
So for the 10 Ω resistor:
V = IR
12 V = I ⋅ 10 Ω
I = å∈å 12 V / 10 Ω
I = 1.20 A
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 1.20 A. This is the current that flows through the 10 Ω resistor.
