The potential difference across a piece of wire is 2.1 v the current in the wire is 0.30 a calculate the resistance of the wire in ohms

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

V = 2.1 v

I = 0.30 A

R = Unknown

Solution:

R = V / I

= 2.1V / 0.30A

= 7Ω

Answer:

7Ω is the resistance of the wire in ohms

The resistance of the wire will be 7 ohms. Resistance is the antagonism strength shown in the discharge of the electric current.

What is resistance ?

Resistance is the opposition force offered in the flow of the electric current. It is denoted by R.It s unit is ohms.

The given data in the problem is;

V is the potential difference  = 2.1 v

I is the current = 0.30 A

R  is the resistance =?

According to Ohm's law resistance is the ratio of the voltage to the current.

[tex]\rm R = \frac{V}{I} \\\\ \rm R = \frac{2.1}{0.30} \\\\ \rm R = 7 \ ohm[/tex]

Hence the resistance of the wire will be 7 ohms.
