Step-by-step solution

2 steps

To calculate the potential difference (voltage) across a resistor, you use Ohm's Law.

  1. State Ohm's Law

    Ohm's Law states that the potential difference (VV) across a resistor is directly proportional to the current (II) flowing through it, and the resistance (RR) of the resistor.

    V=I×RV = I \times R

    Where:

    • VV is the potential difference in volts (V).
    • II is the current in amperes (A).
    • RR is the resistance in ohms (Ω\Omega).
  2. Apply the formula with an example

    Let's say a current of 2 A2 \text{ A} flows through a resistor with a resistance of 10 Ω10 \text{ } \Omega.

    V=2 A×10 ΩV = 2 \text{ A} \times 10 \text{ } \Omega V=20 VV = \boxed{20 \text{ V}}
