3. The load across a 12-V battery consists of a series combination of three resistors that have a resistance of 15 12,21 12, and 24 12,
respectively. What is the current in this circuit? (5F)
a. 0.2 A
b. 2.0 A
C. 0.19 A
d. 1.9 A

a. 0.2 A

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the battery, V = 12 V

three resistance connected in series, R₁ = 15 Ω, R₂ = 21 Ω,   R₃ = 24Ω

The equivalent resistance for series connection is calculated as;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ +  R₃

Rt = 15Ω  +  21Ω   +   24Ω

Rt = 60 Ω

Apply Ohm's law to calculate the current n the circuit;

V = IRt

I = V/Rt

I = 12/60

I = 0.2 A

Therefore, the current in the circuit is 0.2 A

0.11 m/s and 0.28 m/s should be correct

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
