2. A light bulb in a battery-powered desk lamp has a current of 0.042 A and is connected to a

9.2 V battery. What is the resistance in the desk lamp?

  • Potential Difference=9.2V
  • Current=I=0.042A
  • Resistance=R

Using ohms law


\\ \sf\longmapsto R=(V)/(I)


\\ \sf\longmapsto R=(9.2)/(0.042)


\\ \sf\longmapsto R=219.04\Omega
