If the current through a bulb in a series circuit is 0.4 A and the potential difference across the bulb is 3 V then what is the
sergey [27]

Resistance of the bulb is 7.5 ohms

Explanation:

  • In a circuit, according to Ohm's Law, the potential difference (voltage) across an element is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

That is, V ∝ I

⇒ V = IR, where R is the constant of proportionality called the resistance.

  • Here, current, I = 0.4 A and potential difference, V = 3 V

Resistance, R = V/I = 3/0.4 = 7.5 ohms
