Question

The potential difference across a (2.5-Omega) resistor is (5.0 V). Calculate the current flowing through the circuit (Electrical Energy).

a) (1.0 A)

b) (2.0 A)

c) (2.5 A)

d) (3.0 A)

Answer 1

• 2 Amperes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out the current flowing through the circuit, we can use Ohm's Law

which is ,

→ Voltage = current × resistance

Here we have resistance = 2.5Ω , voltage ( potential difference ) = 5V .

On substituting the respective values, we have;

→ 5V = I × 2.5Ω

→ I = 5V/2.5Ω

→ I = 2V/Ω

→ I = 2 A

Hence the current flowing through the circuit is 2 Amperes.

Answer 2

The current flowing through the circuit can be calculated using Ohm's law, and in this case, it is 2.0 A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The current flowing through a circuit can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the current (I) is equal to the potential difference (V) divided by the resistance (R). In this case, the potential difference across the resistor is 5.0 V and the resistance is 2.5 Ω. Therefore, the current flowing through the circuit is:

I = V / R

I = 5.0 V / 2.5 Ω

I = 2.0 A

So, the correct answer is (b) 2.0 A.
