Answer: The correct answer is 16 ohms.

Explanation:

The mathematical expression from Ohm's law is as follows;

V=IR

Here, I is the current, V is the potential and R is the resistance.

It is given in the problem that the potential in the circuit is 240 V and the current is 15 A.

Calculate the resistance by rearranging the above expression.

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

Put I= 15 A and V= 240 V.

$R=\frac{240}{15}$

R= 16 ohms

Therefore, the value of the resistance is 16 ohms.

Does gravity have an effect on the potential difference of a battery?

Sonja [21]

Answer: The correct answer is "No".

Explanation:

Gravity: It is the force which causes object to fall on the earth. It is the force which attracts bodies towards each other.

Potential difference: It is defined as the potential acting between the two points. The work done in moving the unit positive charge from one location to the another location.

The potential difference in battery is caused by the electrodes. There are two terminals in battery: Negative terminal which is at lower potential and Positive terminal which is at higher potential. It forces the electrons to flow in the circuit which constitutes the current.

The gravity and the potential difference have no relation between them.

Therefore, gravity have no effect on the potential difference of a battery.
