Answer:
0.22 (A)
Explanation:
Two resistors are connected in series when they are connected in the same branch of the circuit. When this occurs, we have the following:
- The current flowing through each resistor is the same (1)
- The total voltage of the circuit is the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor
- The total resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:
[tex]R=R_1 + R_2[/tex]
So, given statement (1), in this case the current flowing through each resistor is the same, so the current flowing throught the 221-Ω resistor is also 0.22 A.
