Answer:

The resistance of the resistor can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage . Since we know that a current of 0.02 A is flowing through the resistor when there is a potential difference of 10 V , we can calculate the resistance using the following equation:

R = V/I

Where R is the resistance, V is the voltage (10 V) and I is the current (0.02 A).

Therefore, the resistance of the resistor is 500 Ω.
