  • Calculating Current Through a Resistor: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the current through the resistor:

    Ohm's Law

    Ohm's Law states the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R):

    * V = I * R

    Solving for Current (I)

    To find the current, we can rearrange the formula:

    * I = V / R

    Calculations

    * V = 6 volts

    * R = 400 ohms

    * I = 6 volts / 400 ohms

    * I = 0.015 amperes (or 15 milliamperes)

    Answer: The current through the 400 ohm resistor is 0.015 amperes or 15 milliamperes.
