00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.311
Here is the problem: A current of 0.02 A flows through a 470 Ω resistor. What is the voltage across it?

2
00:00:09.761 --> 00:00:15.357
Use the Ohm prime s law formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:16.157 --> 00:00:18.154
Formula: Ohm prime s law.

4
00:00:18.604 --> 00:00:20.485
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:20.935 --> 00:00:22.050
Power dissipated.

6
00:00:22.850 --> 00:00:30.106
So the answer is voltage V equals 9.4 V; P equals 0.188 W.

7
00:00:30.556 --> 00:00:46.740
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.

8
00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:53.275
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
