Answer:

V=4v

Step-by-step explanation:

To perform this operation, we will refer to Ohm's Law. This Law relates the terms current, voltage and resistance.

The current intensity that passes through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage or voltage of the circuit and inversely proportional to the resistance it presents.


I=(v)/(r)

Where

I=Current

V= Voltage

R=Resistance.

So, in this case:

R=200 ohm

I= 2mA = 0.002 A

V= searched variable


V=r*I


V=(200ohm)(0.002A)=4V
