Chapter 6.2, Problem 15R

To determine

To calculate: Voltage difference in a circuit.

Answer to Problem 15R

Voltage difference is $\underset{\_}{12\text{ V}}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Resistance = $\text{24 }\Omega$

Current = $\text{0}\text{.50 A}$

Formula used:

Current is given by,

  $I=\frac{V}{R}$

where $V$ is voltage difference and $R$ is resistance.

Calculation:

Voltage difference is calculated as:

  $\begin{array}{l}V=IR\\ =(0.50\text{ A})(24\Omega )\\ =12\text{ V}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Voltage difference is $\underset{\_}{12\text{ V}}$ .
