Chapter 6.2, Problem 8PP

To determine

To calculate: Resistance of the circuit.

Answer to Problem 8PP

Resistance of the circuit is $\underset{\_}{\text{4000 }\Omega }$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Current = $0.0030\text{ A}$

Voltage = $\text{12 V}$

Formula used:

Current is given by,

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

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

Calculation:

Resistance is calculated as:

$\begin{array}{l}I=\frac{V}{R}\\ R=\frac{V}{I}\\ =\frac{\text{12 V}}{\text{0}\text{.0030 A}}\\ =4000\Omega \end{array}$

Conclusion:

Resistance of the circuit is $\underset{\_}{\text{4000 }\Omega }$ .
