A light bulb has a resistance of 100 ohms. If a current of 1.2 amps is flowing through it, calculate the voltage applied.
Added by John N.
Step 1
Ohm's Law states that Voltage (V) is equal to the product of Current (I) and Resistance (R). Mathematically, this can be written as: V = I × R We are given the resistance (R) as 100 ohms and the current (I) as 1.2 amps. Plugging these values into the formula, we Show more…
