In physics, Ohm's law says that current through a wire, I, is directly proportional to voltage, V, and inversely proportional to resistance, R:

Question

I=V/R. It's also true that resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire. We have a piece of wire. We pass 50 volts through this wire and measure 200 milliamps of current. If I cut the wire in half and pass 300 volts through it, how many milliamps of current will I measure?

Thank you!

Answer 1

R=kL so I = V/(kL) = 1/k (V/L)
replacing V with 6V you get 6I : 1200mA

Answer 2

oobleck- thanks, but that is incorrect.
