Voltage = (current) x (resistance) <== memorize this formula

Voltage = (15 Amperes) x (3 ohms)

Voltage = 45 volts

Answer:

45 V

Step-by-step explanation:

The voltage across the resistor can be found by using Ohm's law:


V=RI

where

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this circuit,


R=3 \Omega


I=15 A

Therefore, the voltage across the resistor is


V=(3\Omega )(15 A)=45 V
