Solving for R
Document Actions
Given the following information, solve for R.
- R is unknown,
- The current (I) in a circuit is 2A.
- Electromotive force (E) is 12V.
To solve for the Resistance (R) in the circuit, cover the R as shown below, cover the R as shown below; E and I remain visible.
The answer would be R = E/I, or R = 12V/2A ohms, resulting in R = 6 ohms.
