Answer:
1.5 A
Explanation:
Applying
V = IR'....................... Equation 1
make I the subject of the equation
I = V/R'.................. Equation 2
Where V = Voltage, I = current, R' = Total resistance.
From the question,
In a series connection,
R' = 0.2+0.3+0.5+5 = 6 ohm.
Given: V = 9V
Substitute into equation 2
I = 9/6
I = 1.5 A.
Note: Since all the resistors are connected in series, thesame current flows through them
Therefore the current flowing through the 5 ohm resistor = 1.5 A
