A 180-W resistor has 0.10 A of current through it. What is the potential difference across the resistor? Include numerical answer with correct units.

Ur a real one if u solve this no cap
And I only got 10 min to get the answer

Answer:

1800V

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Power in the resistor = 180W

Current = 0.1A

Unknown:

Potential difference = ?

Solution:

The power in a circuit is given as:

P = I V

P is the power

I is the current

V is the potential difference

Now insert the parameters and solve for V;

180 = 0.1 x V

V = 1800V
