Question

If a current of 0.2 ampere flows through a conductor of resistance 40 ohm, what is the potential difference between the two ends of the conductor?

  1. 0.5 volt
  2. 2 volt
  3. 6 volt
  4. 8 volt
WBBSE Class X Physical Science Current Electricity 01 Mark 2023

Answer

d. 8 volts

Explanation:

Current (I) = 0.2 A

Resistence (R) = 4 ohm

Ohm’s law: V = I × R

V = 0.2 × 40 = 8 volt
