Question

A current of 0.5A flows through a conductor of resistance 5 ohms .Calculate the potential difference at ends of the conductor.

Answer 1

Given

Current flowing (I) = 0.5 A

Resistance = 5 ohms.

Formula

V = I R

Calculation

V = I R

= 0.5 × 5

= 2.5

Hence, potential difference across conductor will be 2.5 Volt.

Answer 2

Step 1: Given data

Current, $I=0.5 A$

Resistance, $R=5\Omega$

Potential difference, $V=?$

Step 2: Calculating the potential difference

According to Ohm's law,

$V=I\times R$

$V=0.5\times 5=2.5V$

Hence, the potential difference at the ends of the conductor is $2.5 V$.
