00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.989
Here is the problem: A current of 1.5 A flows through a 8 Ω resistor. What is the voltage across it?

2
00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:12.849
Use the Ohm prime s law formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.649 --> 00:00:15.820
Formula: Ohm prime s law.

4
00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:18.197
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:18.647 --> 00:00:19.669
Power dissipated.

6
00:00:20.469 --> 00:00:25.972
So the answer is voltage V equals 12 V; P equals 18 W.

7
00:00:26.422 --> 00:00:43.059
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
00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:49.606
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
