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

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.
