Question

What is the resistance in a circuit that has a current of 2.5A and a voltage of 40v

Answer 1

16 ohms

Step-by-step explanation

Ohm's law relates the strength of a direct current is directly proportional to the potential difference and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit,it is given by the expresssion

`\begin{gathered} V=IR \\ if\text{ we isolate R} \\ R=(V)/(I) \end{gathered}`

then

Step 1

a) Let

`\begin{gathered} I=2.5\text{ A} \\ V=40\text{ V} \end{gathered}`

b)replace in the formula

`\begin{gathered} R=(V)/(I) \\ R=(40V)/(2.5A) \\ R=16\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}`

therefore, the answer is 16 ohm

I hope this helps you
