Question

How much current will pass through a 12.5 ohm resistor when it is connected to ta 115 volt source of electrical potential?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.2 amperes

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the voltage V across a conductor of resistance R is given by $V = R I$

Here, voltage V is proportional to the current I.

For voltage, unit is volts (V)

For current, unit is amperes (A)

For resistance, unit is Ohms (Ω)

Put R = 12.5 and V = 115 in V=RI

$115=12.5I\\I=\frac{115}{12.5}\\ =9.2\,\,amperes$
