Question

An LDR was placed near a light source. The following results were

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 440I

Explanation:

According to ohm's law which states that the current passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends.

Let V be the potential difference

I is the current

R is the resistance

Mathematically;

V∝I

V = IR

Given

Potential difference V = 5.50Volts

Current = 12.5mA = 12.5*10^-3A

Current  I = 0.0125A

Recall that V = IR

R = V/I

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

R = 5.50/0.0125

R = 440 ohms

Hence the equation that links current, potential difference and resistance is expressed as;

V = I(440)

V = 440I
