Question

A resistor of 5 Ω is placed in a circuit. The voltage drop across the resistor is 12 V. What is the current through the resistor?

Answer 1

Data:

R = 5 Ω
U = 12 V
i = ?

Formula:

$U = R*i$ → $i = \frac{U}{R}$

Solving:

$i = \frac{U}{R}$
$i = \frac{12}{5}$
$\boxed{i = 2.4A}$

Answer:

The current through the resistor is 2.4 Amperes
