Question

Ohm's law states that the current (I) in amps equals the voltage (E) in volts decided by the resistance (R) in ohm's. If you connected a 2 megohm resistor (2•10^6 ohms)across a 2.4 kilovolt voltage source (2.4•10^3 volts ) , what would be the currents amps ?

Answer 1

1.14 * 10^-3 amperes

Step-by-step explanation:

According to ohms law

V = IR ---- ( 1 )

V = voltage = 2.4 * 10^3 v

I = current = ?

R = resistance = 2.1 * 10^6 Ω

from equation 1

I = V / R

= ( 2.4 * 10^3 ) / (2.1 * 10^6 )

= 1.14 * 10^-3 amperes
