Question

If 12V battery maintains a 4.5A current through a resistor what is the resistance of the resistor?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.7ohms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Voltage of the battery  = 12V

Current  = 4.5A

Unknown:

Resistance of the resistor  = ?

Solution:

From Ohm's law, we know that;

          V  = IR

V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

  So;

        R  = $\frac{V}{I}$   = $\frac{12}{4.5}$    = 2.7ohms
