The current in the circuit shown is 5.0 A, and the resistor is 2.0 Ω. What is the potential across the battery? A.8.0 VB.2.5 VC.10 VD.3.0 V

The current in the circuit shown is 50 A and the resistor is 20 Ω What is the potential across the battery A80 VB25 VC10 VD30 V class=

Respuesta :

Given:

The current is,

[tex]i=5.0\text{ A}[/tex]

The resistance is,

[tex]R=2.0\text{ ohm}[/tex]

To find:

The potential across the battery

Explanation:

Using Ohm's law, we can write the potential across the battery is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=iR \\ =5.0\times2.0 \\ =10\text{ V} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the potential across the battery is 10 V.
