If the current flowing through a 50-ohm resistor is 0.44 amperes, what voltage would you measure across the resistor?
- A0.22 volts
- B22 volts
- C222 volts
- D2.2 volts
Correct answer: B — 22 volts. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
To find the voltage across the resistor, you multiply the current by the resistance, a rule known as Ohm's Law. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
