Question

A resistor of 5 Ω is placed in a circuit. The voltage drop across the resistor is 12 V. What is the current through the resistor?

Answer 1

Data:

R = 5 Ω
U = 12 V
i = ?

Formula:


`U = R*i` →
`i = (U)/(R)`

Solving:


`i = (U)/(R)`

`i = (12)/(5)`

`\boxed{i = 2.4A}`

Answer:

The current through the resistor is 2.4 Amperes
