a current of 0.2a flows through a component with a resistance of 40 ohms. calculate the potential difference.

Answer: The potential difference across a component is given by Ohm’s law as:

V = I * R

Where:

  • V is the potential difference in volts (V)
  • I is the current in amperes (A)
  • R is the resistance in ohms (Ω)

V = I * R
V = 0.2 A * 40 Ω
V = 8 V

Therefore, the potential difference across the component is 8 volts.
