A simple circuit consists of a light bulb connected to the terminals of a battery. A voltmeter shows a potential difference of 1

8.5 V across the light bulb, whereas an ammeter registers a current of 0.485 A in the circuit. Determine the resistance of the bulb.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

38.14Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let's solve this question using Ohm's law which states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage (V) across it. Mathematically;

V =  I R       -------------------(i)

<em>Where</em>;

R is the constant of proportionality called resistance of the conductor and is measured in Ohms (Ω)

<em>From the question;</em>

V = 18.5V

I = 0.485A

<em>Substitute these  values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

18.5 = 0.485 x R

<em>Solve for R;</em>

R = 18.5 / 0.485

R = 38.14Ω

Therefore the resistance of the bulb is 38.14Ω

That is because there are other forces like the friction forces that apply differently on both of them. The frictional forces applied to the sled are smaller than they are on the father, for example, so it's possible for him to pull it.
