We start by identifying the relation between voltage, current, and resistance: Ohm's law, I = V / R.
The given values are a potential difference V = 7.35 volts and a resistance R = 14.46 ohms.
Plugging these into Ohm's law, I = 7.35 V ÷ 14.46 Ω.
Next, perform the division: 7.35 ÷ 14.46 ≈ 0.508 (in amperes).
Consider significant figures: 7.35 has 3 significant figures and 14.46 has 4, so the result should be reported with at most 3 significant figures, giving I ≈ 0.508 A.
Unit-wise, amperes (A) make sense for current, and the calculation reflects a direct application of Ohm's law without any additional factors or complexities.
If you want a quick check, note that 14.46 × 0.5 = 7.23, which is very close to 7.35, and the remaining 0.12 V over 14.46 Ω corresponds to about 0.0083 A, adding up to roughly 0.508 A when summed.
Therefore, the current through the resistor is approximately 0.508 A.
