Question

A current of 0.500A runs through a 3.000 resistor. What is the potential drop across the resistor?0.167V1.50V2.50V6.00V

Answer 1

Given:

The current in the circuit is I = 0.5 A

The resistor in the circuit is R = 3 ohms

To find the potential drop across the circuit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential drop can be calculated as

`\begin{gathered} V=IR \\ =\text{ 0.5}*3 \\ =\text{ 1.5 V} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the potential drop is 1.5 V.
