Two resistors of equal resistance are connected in series ?

Question

with each other and are connected to a battery that produces a potential difference of 8 V. If the current is 0.2 A what is the value of each resistance?

Thanx much!!

Answer 1

V=IR so 8=.2 R and so R(total) = 40 ohms and EACH resister is thus 20 ohms.

Answer 2

Ohm's Law

Total resistance:

R = V/I

R = 8/0.2

R = 40

R/2 = 20

Answer 3

you have to measure each one separately because  the combo of any two of different values result in the same resistance

Answer 4

V=IR

V= potential difference= 8 V

I = current =0.2 A

two equal resistors in series =2R

V = I(2R)

R= 20 ohms
