00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.780
Here is the problem: A current of 2 A flows through a 5 Ω resistor. What is the voltage across it?

2
00:00:07.230 --> 00:00:12.791
Use the Ohm prime s law formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.591 --> 00:00:15.774
Formula: Ohm prime s law.

4
00:00:16.224 --> 00:00:18.151
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:18.601 --> 00:00:19.716
Power dissipated.

6
00:00:20.516 --> 00:00:25.787
So the answer is voltage V equals 10 V; P equals 20 W.

7
00:00:26.237 --> 00:00:42.468
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
00:00:43.268 --> 00:00:48.910
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
