Question

Ohm's law states that the current (I) in amps equals the voltage (E) in volts decided by the resistance (R) in ohm's. If you connected a 2 megohm resistor (2•10^6 ohms)across a 2.4 kilovolt voltage source (2.4•10^3 volts ) , what would be the currents amps ?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.14 * 10^-3  amperes

Explanation:

According to ohms law

V = IR   ---- ( 1 )

V = voltage  = 2.4 * 10^3 v

I = current  = ?

R = resistance =  2.1 * 10^6 Ω

from equation 1

I = V / R

 = ( 2.4 * 10^3 ) / (2.1 * 10^6 )

 = 1.14 * 10^-3  amperes
