What size of current will be drawn from the battery pack

[Kyleee]

There's three lamps in a series circuit, which are rated 0.05A, 6v. What size of current will be drawn from the battery pack. Explain why this is.

You need to please reply quickly. I've got lots of homework to do still and it's 9.00pm nearly.

Sorry for being a bit impatient, but I really need to know fast.

lamps … are rated 0.05A, 6v.

Can you calculate the resistance of an individual lamp?

You need to read the rules for posting homework. You are supposed to show what you CAN do and how far you've gotten. If you expect someone here to just spoon-feed you an answer, you're on the wrong forum.

The size of current drawn from the battery pack in this scenario would be 0.05A. This is because in a series circuit, the current remains constant throughout the circuit. Therefore, the current passing through each lamp would be the same, and since there are three lamps in the circuit, the total current drawn from the battery pack would be three times 0.05A, which equals 0.15A.

As for the reason why the current remains constant in a series circuit, it is due to the principle of conservation of energy. The battery pack provides a constant voltage of 6V, and according to Ohm's law (V=IR), the current is inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit. In a series circuit, the total resistance is equal to the sum of individual resistances, and since the lamps have the same rating, they have the same resistance. This means that the current remains constant throughout the circuit, regardless of the number of lamps in the circuit.

I understand that you have a lot of homework to do, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my delayed response. It is important to prioritize your tasks and not rush through them, as it may lead to mistakes. I hope this explanation helps you understand the concept better. Good luck with your homework!
