Exam-style question
Try this first
A circuit consists of a 12 V battery and a resistor of 4 Ω. Calculate the current flowing through the circuit.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The current flowing through the circuit is 3 A.
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is The current flowing through the circuit is 3 A.. This is correct because it applies the Current electricity idea named in the question, using the required quantities and units rather than mixing current, charge, potential difference, resistance, power, or energy.
The other options are less suitable because they use the wrong electrical quantity, an incompatible unit, or a rule from a different circuit context.
