If the conductor, resistance is 50 ohm and the current passing through it is 5A. What is the value of potential difference?

Correct answer: B. 250V

  • A. 150V
  • B. 250V
  • C. 50V
  • D. 15V

Explanation

The potential difference across a conductor is given by Ohm's Law V = IR where V is the potential difference, I is the current, and R is the resistance. Substituting the given values, we get: V = IR = 5A x 50 ohm = 250V

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
