Answer : The voltage applied by the batteries is, 6.0 V
Solution : Given,
Resistance of flashlight = 2.4 ohm
Current in the circuit = 2.5 Ampere
Formula used :
[tex]V=IR[/tex]
where,
V = applied voltage
I = current in the circuit
R = resistance of light
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get
[tex]V=(2.5A)\times (2.4ohm)=6volt=6V[/tex]
Therefore, the voltage applied by the batteries is, 6.0 V
