When a 12 V battery is connected across an unknown resistor



Question 8:
When a 12 V battery is connected across an unknown resistor, there is a current of 2.5 mA in the circuit. Find the value of the resistance of the resistor.
Solution:
We have potential difference (V) = 12V
Electric current (I)=2.5 mA= 2.4×10-3
According to Ohm’s Law (V) = IR
Or  R = V/I
