A power supply can deliver a maximum rated current of 0.5 A at full-load output voltage of 20 V. What is the minimum load resistance that you can connect across the supply?

Correct answer: D. 40 O

  • A. 10 O
  • B. 20 O
  • C. 15 O
  • D. 40 O

Explanation

At the maximum rated current, the smallest permissible resistance is given by Ohm’s law: R = V/I = 20/0.5 = 40 Ω. A lower resistance would demand more than the supply’s rated current.
