A. 8.0 ohms B. 48 ohms C. 3.0 ohms D. 12 ohms 5.In a closed circuit, the current only flows from the power source to an electrical device such as a lamp
A.TRUE B.FALSE

Answer 1

4.Use Ohm’s Law to determine the resistance in a circuit if the voltage is 12.0 volts and the current is 4.0 amps.

A. 8.0 ohms B. 48 ohms C. 3.0 ohms D. 12 ohms

Ohm's law is V=IR, or I=V/R, or R=V/I. (I= current, V= voltage, R= resistance.) Let's plug in our variables: V=12.0, I=4.0, R=? into the equation R=V/I. 12.0/4.0=3.0, so the resistance is 3.0 ohms.
