Question

A voltage of 75 V is placed across a 150 Ω resistor. What is the current through the resistor?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 A

Explanation:

Applying,

V = IR.................. Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = Resistance.

make I the subject of the equation

I = V/R............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 75 V, R = 150 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 75/150

I = 0.5 A.

Hence the cuurent through the resistor is 0.5 A
