What is the voltage across a 2-ohm resistor if a current of 0.5 amperes flows through it?
- A2.5 volts
- B1.5 volts
- C1.0 volts
- D0.25 volts
Correct answer: C — 1.0 volts. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
To find the voltage across a resistor, you multiply the current flowing through it by its resistance. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
