<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>

How many volts does it take to push 2 amperes of current through 20 ohms of resistance?
vodomira [7]

As we know V=IR

So, R= 20 ohms, I= 2 A

Therefore, V= 2*20 = 40 V

Electric Voltage

The difference in electric potential between two points, also known as voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension, determines how much labour is required to move a test charge between the two sites in a static electric field. Volt is the name of the derived unit for voltage (potential difference) in the International System of Units. 1 volt equals 1 joule (of work) for 1 coulomb, is how to work per unit charge is stated in SI units (of charge). Power and current were utilized in the previous SI definition for the volt, and the quantum Hall and Josephson effect was incorporated in 1990. As of 2019 fundamental physical constants have been employed in the definition of all SI units and derived units.
