00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.641
Here is the problem: A 230 V source drives 10 A through a resistor. What is its resistance?

2
00:00:07.091 --> 00:00:12.350
Use the Ohm prime s law formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.150 --> 00:00:15.240
Formula: Ohm prime s law.

4
00:00:15.690 --> 00:00:17.455
Rearrange for resistance R.

5
00:00:17.905 --> 00:00:19.809
Substitute the known values.

6
00:00:20.259 --> 00:00:21.350
Power dissipated.

7
00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:29.499
So the answer is resistance R equals 23 Ω; P equals 2300 W.

8
00:00:29.949 --> 00:00:46.133
Ohm prime s law says the current through a resistor is proportional to the voltage across it: V equals IR. It holds for ohmic conductors such as resistors at constant temperature, not for diodes or filament bulbs over wide ranges.

9
00:00:46.933 --> 00:00:52.587
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
