Question

question 15 of 25 the drop in potential across a resistor in a circuit is 50 v. what is the current flowing through the resistor if the resistance is 2.0 ω? (use ohms law: v = ir) a. 100 a b. 2.5 a c. 10 a d. 25 a

Explanation:

Step1: Rearrange Ohm's law for current.

Given $V = IR$, we can solve for $I$ as $I=\frac{V}{R}$.

Step2: Substitute the given values.

We have $V = 50\ V$ and $R=2.0\ \Omega$. So $I=\frac{50}{2}$.

Step3: Calculate the current.

$I = 25\ A$.

Answer:

D. 25 A
