Question 26
F92%

A single closed loop contains a cell, a lamp and a resistor. An ammeter placed next to the cell reads 0.30 A. What is the current in the resistor?

[1]
A

0.10 A, because the current is shared between the lamp and the resistor

B

0.15 A, because the current is shared equally by the two components

C

0.30 A, because the current is the same at every point in the loop

D

0.60 A, because the current is added to by each of the two components
