Problem

Ohm's law states that for a simple circuit, where is the total voltage, is the amount of current running through the resistor and is the resistance of the resistor. If amperes when ohms, find the amount of current (in amperes) when the resistor has a resistance of ohms. Assume voltage remains constant.
Solution
If for a constant voltage , then the total voltage of the circuit can be expressed as . Thus, when the resistance is ohms, the equation becomes:
Final answer
6
