Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a circuit, if the voltage across a resistor is 12V and the current through it is 3A, what is the resistance?
Correct Answer: 4 ohms
  • Step 1: Identify the voltage across the resistor, which is given as 12V.
  • Step 2: Identify the current flowing through the resistor, which is given as 3A.
  • Step 3: Recall Ohm's law, which states that Resistance (R) equals Voltage (V) divided by Current (I).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: R = V / I.
  • Step 5: Calculate the resistance: R = 12V / 3A.
  • Step 6: Perform the division: 12 divided by 3 equals 4.
  • Step 7: Conclude that the resistance is 4 ohms.
