Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the voltage drop across a 5 ohm resistor carrying a current of 2 A?
Correct Answer: 10 V
  • Step 1: Identify the values given in the problem. We have a resistor with a resistance of 5 ohms and a current of 2 A.
  • Step 2: Recall Ohm's law, which states that voltage (V) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). The formula is V = I * R.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula. Here, I = 2 A and R = 5 ohms.
  • Step 4: Calculate the voltage drop. Multiply 2 A by 5 ohms: 2 * 5 = 10.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the voltage drop across the 5 ohm resistor is 10 V.
