Chapter 18, Problem 5P

To determine

The voltage produced by of $\text{0}\text{.25 A}$ current through a $\text{3800 }\Omega$ resistor.

Answer to Problem 5P

  $950\text{V}$

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Current $\text{I=0}\text{.25 A}$ and resistance $\text{ R= 3800 }\Omega$

Formula used:

From the Ohm’s law

The relation between resistance, voltage and current

  $\text{V=IR}$

Where $V=$ voltage, $I=$ current, and $R=$ resistance

Calculation:

Substituting all the given values in formula, $\text{V=IR}$

  $\text{=0}\text{.25 A}\times \text{3800 }\Omega$

  $=950\text{V}$

Conclusion:

Produced voltage: $950\text{V}$
