Laws Applied
Part 1
Directions: Complete the following questions on Ohm’s Law.
1. What is Ohm's Law and how is it mathematically represented?
Ohm's Law states V = I * R, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.
2. What are the units of measurement for each of the variables in Ohm's Law?
Volts (V)voltage, Amperes (A)current, and Ohms (Ω)resistance.
3. How can Ohm's Law be used to calculate the resistance of a circuit given the voltage and
current?
R = V / I, where R is resistance, V is voltage, and I is current.
4. How can Ohm's Law be used to calculate the current in a circuit given the voltage and
resistance?
I = V / R, where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance.
5. Can Ohm's Law be used for both AC and DC circuits?
Yes, Ohm's Law is applicable to both AC and DC circuits.
6. How does the temperature affect the resistance of a conductor in Ohm's Law?
When it gets hotter, the resistance of a material usually goes up.
7. Can the Ohm's Law formula be used to calculate power in a circuit? If not, what is the formula
for calculating power?
NO!! Power is found by multiplying voltage and current: P = V * I.
Part 2
Directions: Apply Ohm’s Law to answer the following questions:
8. Tom has a circuit with a resistance of 50 ohms and a current of 2 amps. What is the voltage of
the circuit?
Voltage (V) = 50 ohms * 2 amps = 100 volts.
9. Mary is trying to design a circuit with a voltage of 24 volts and a resistance of 10 ohms. How
much current is flowing through the circuit?
Current (I) = 24 volts / 10 ohms = 2.4 amps.
10. John's battery has a voltage of 12 volts and a resistance of 2 ohms hooked up in a circuit. What
is the current flowing through the circuit?
Current (I) = 12 volts / 2 ohms = 6 amps.
11. Jane has a circuit with a voltage of 120 volts and a current of 5 amps. What is the resistance of
the circuit?
Resistance (R) = 120 volts / 5 amps = 24 ohms.
12. Mark has a circuit with a voltage of 24 volts and a resistance of 8 ohms. If the current in the
circuit is 3 amps, what is the power being used by the circuit?
Power (P) = 24 volts * 3 amps = 72 watts.
13. Emily is trying to design a circuit with a current of 3 amps and a power of 120 watts. What is
the voltage that she should use?
Voltage (V) = Power (P) / Current (I) = 120 watts / 3 amps = 40 volts.
14. Dave has a circuit with a voltage of 30 volts and a power of 30 watts. What is the current
flowing through the circuit?
Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V) = 30 watts / 30 volts = 1 amp.
15. Sarah has a circuit with a voltage of 6 volts and a power of 12 watts. What is the resistance of
the circuit?
Resistance (R) = Voltage (V)² / Power (P) = 6 volts² / 12 watts = 3 ohms.
16. Michael has a circuit with a voltage of 18 volts and a resistance of 6 ohms. What is the current
flowing through the circuit?
Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R) = 18 volts / 6 ohms = 3 amps.
17. Kevin has a circuit with a current of 2 amps and a resistance of 25 ohms. What is the voltage of
the circuit?
Voltage (V) = Current (I) * Resistance (R) = 2 amps * 25 ohms = 50 volts.
