Answer: 25 volts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's Law states that the voltage of a wire is equal to the current multiplied by the resistance.


V = IR

The current and the resistance are both given in the question. There is a current of 5 amperes and a resistance of 5 ohms.

5 * 5 = 25

Jane requires 25 volts out of the battery in order to fulfill the experiment's requirements.
