00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.570
Here is the problem: A current of 4 A flows through a 2.5 Ω resistor. What is the voltage across it?

2
00:00:08.020 --> 00:00:13.628
Use the Ohm prime s law formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:14.428 --> 00:00:16.553
Formula: Ohm prime s law.

4
00:00:17.003 --> 00:00:18.930
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:20.529
Power dissipated.

6
00:00:21.329 --> 00:00:26.739
So the answer is voltage V equals 10 V; P equals 40 W.

7
00:00:27.189 --> 00:00:43.478
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
00:00:44.278 --> 00:00:49.874
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
