Question

A current of 0.1 A flows through a conductor of resistance 10 Ω. The potential difference across the ends of the conductor is

Answer 1

1 volt is the potential difference

Answer 2

Answer:

A current of 0.1 A flows through a conductor of resistance 10 Ω. The potential difference across the ends of the conductor is $1\ V$

Explanation:

• Let R be the resistance of a wire, V be an applied potential V at the ends and I be the current flow through it.

       Then, According to Ohm's law, the voltage will be proportional to

        the current.

        It can be expressed as,    

        $V \propto I$      Or     $V = RI$    ...(1)

• In the question, it is given that,

        $R = 10\ \Omega$     $I = 0.1\ A$

        Substitute these values into equation(1),

        $V = 10\times 0.1 = 1 V$
