Question

What is the electric current produced when a voltage of `24 V` is applied to a circuit with a resistance of `40 Omega`?

Answer 1

I got `0.6A`

Explanation:

We can use Ohm's Law relating voltage `V`. Current `I` and Restance `R`:

`V=RI`

so that:

`I=V/R=24/40=0.6A`

Answer 2

`0.6` amperes

Explanation:

Using Ohm's Law,

`V=IR`

• `I` is the current flowing in amperes

• `R` is the resistance in ohms

And so, we can rearrange the equation into,

`I=V/R`

Now, we can plug in the given values, and get,

`I=(24 \ "V")/(40 \ Omega)`

`=0.6 \ "A"`
