Question

A 13 Ohm resistor, R, is connected to a battery with unknown voltage, V, as shown below. The total current, I, flowing through the circuit is 1.24 Amperes. Find the unknown voltage, V, of the battery in Volts. Round your answer to 2 decimal places

Answer 1

Answer:

16.12 V

Explanation:

Ohms law explains or portrays the relationship between the voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R). This is represented using the equation as follows:

V = IR

Where;

V = voltage (Volts)

I = current (amperes)

R = resistance (ohms)

According to the information provided in the question, resistance (R) = 13 Ohm, current (I) = 1.24 Amperes, V = ?

V = 13 × 1.24

V = 16.12 V
