Answer:

72 volts.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to use the Ohm's law.

The ohm's law tells us that the voltage drop of a resistor is directly proportional to the current applied to the conductor.


V=I*R

in this case the current is 1.8 amps and the resistor is 40 ohm


V=1.8*40

so


V=72 volts.
