To determine the voltage needed to produce a current of 8 amps in a 6-ohm resistor, you can use Ohm's Law, which states:
\[ V = I \times R \]
where:
- \( V \) is the voltage in volts,
- \( I \) is the current in amperes,
- \( R \) is the resistance in ohms.
Plugging in the values:
\[ V = 8 , \text{amps} \times 6 , \text{ohms} \] \[ V = 48 , \text{volts} \]
Therefore, the required voltage is 48 volts.
The correct option is D) 48 volts.
