00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.023
Here is the problem: A current of 0.5 A flows through a 24 Ω resistor. What is the voltage across it?

2
00:00:08.473 --> 00:00:13.999
Use the Ohm prime s law formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:16.924
Formula: Ohm prime s law.

4
00:00:17.374 --> 00:00:19.348
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:19.798 --> 00:00:20.820
Power dissipated.

6
00:00:21.620 --> 00:00:27.170
So the answer is voltage V equals 12 V; P equals 6 W.

7
00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:44.106
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
00:00:44.906 --> 00:00:50.537
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
