Answer:

no stus answer was incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct formula that relates current, resistance and voltage in a circuit is given by Ohm's law: or where V is the voltage in the circuitI is the current R is the resistanceIn this circuit, the voltage is V=4.0 V, and the current is I=0.5 A, therefore the resistance of the circuit is.
