Answer:

14.4 V

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law, which states that:


V=RI

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance of the clock

I is the current in the circuit

In this problem, we have:


I = 4.5 A is the current


R=3.2 \Omega is the resistance

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find the voltage:


V=(4.5 A)(3.2 \Omega)=14.4 V
