Question :-

  • A Direct Current of 3.0 A flows through a Circuit consisting of a Battery and a 6.0 Ohm's Resistor. Calculate the Potential Difference across the Resistor .

Answer :-

  • Potential Difference is 18 Volt's .

Explanation :-

As per the provided information in the given question, we have been given that the Current of the Device is 3.0 Ampere . The Resistance is given as 6.0 Ohm's . And, we have been asked to calculate the Potential Difference .

As we know ,

  • V = I R

Where ,

  • V denotes to Potential Difference
  • I denotes to Current
  • R denotes to Resistance

Therefore , by Substituting the given values in the above Formula :-


\sf {\dag \: \: \: Potential \: Difference \: = \: Current \: * \: Resistance}


\sf {\Longrightarrow \: \: \: \sf Potential \: Difference \: = \: 3.0 \: * \: 6.0}


\sf {\Longrightarrow \: \: \: \sf Potential \: Difference \: = \: 3 \: * \: 6}


\bf {\Longrightarrow \: \: \: \bf {Potential \: Difference \: = \: 18 \: }}

Hence :-

  • Potential Difference = 18 Volt's .

Additional Information :-


\Longrightarrow \: \: \: \sf {Voltage \: = \: Current \: * \: Resistance}


\Longrightarrow \: \: \: \sf {Current \: = \: \frac {Voltage}{Resistance} }


\Longrightarrow \: \: \: \sf {Resistance \: = \: \frac {Voltage}{Current} }
