1 answer

Let's solve these questions one by one using Ohm's Law, which states:

\[ V = I \times R \]

Where:

  • \( V \) is voltage in volts (V),
  • \( I \) is current in amperes (A), and
  • \( R \) is resistance in ohms (Ω).

Question 1:

Given:

  • Voltage \( V = 1.5 \) volts
  • Resistance \( R = 3 \) ohms

Using Ohm's Law, we can solve for current \( I \): \[ I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{1.5}{3} = 0.5 \text{ amps} \]

Correct Answer: 0.5 amps


Question 2:

Given:

  • Voltage \( V = 12 \) volts
  • Resistance \( R = 10 \) ohms

Using Ohm's Law: \[ I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{12}{10} = 1.2 \text{ amps} \]

Correct Answer: 1.2 amps


Question 3:

Given:

  • Voltage \( V = 120 \) volts
  • Resistance \( R = 12 \) ohms

Using Ohm's Law: \[ I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{120}{12} = 10 \text{ amps} \]

Correct Answer: 10 amps


Question 4:

Given:

  • Voltage \( V = 110 \) volts
  • Current \( I = 5.5 \) amps

Using Ohm's Law to find resistance \( R \): \[ R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{110}{5.5} = 20 \text{ ohms} \]

Correct Answer: 20 ohms


Question 5:

Given:

  • Current \( I = 10 \) amps
  • Resistance \( R = 5 \) ohms

Using Ohm's Law to find voltage \( V \): \[ V = I \times R = 10 \times 5 = 50 \text{ volts} \]

Correct Answer: 50 volts


To summarize:

  1. 0.5 amps
  2. 1.2 amps
  3. 10 amps
  4. 20 ohms
  5. 50 volts
