A resistor of 5 Ω is placed in a circuit. The voltage drop across the resistor is 12 V. What is the current through the resistor?

Answer :

dexteright02
Data:

R = 5 Ω
U = 12 V
i = ?

Formula:

[tex]U = R*i[/tex] → [tex]i = \frac{U}{R} [/tex]

Solving:

[tex]i = \frac{U}{R} [/tex]
[tex]i = \frac{12}{5} [/tex]
[tex]\boxed{i = 2.4A}[/tex]

Answer:

The current through the resistor is 2.4 Amperes
