00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.117
Here is the problem: A 9 V source drives 0.03 A through a resistor. What is its resistance?

2
00:00:07.567 --> 00:00:12.954
Use the Ohm prime s law formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.754 --> 00:00:15.867
Formula: Ohm prime s law.

4
00:00:16.317 --> 00:00:18.198
Rearrange for resistance R.

5
00:00:18.648 --> 00:00:20.599
Substitute the known values.

6
00:00:21.049 --> 00:00:22.187
Power dissipated.

7
00:00:22.987 --> 00:00:30.464
So the answer is resistance R equals 300 Ω; P equals 0.27 W.

8
00:00:30.914 --> 00:00:46.924
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
00:00:47.724 --> 00:00:53.436
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
