Understanding Ohm's Law
Ohm's Law is the fundamental relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R):
* V = I * R
Where:
* V is voltage (measured in volts)
* I is current (measured in amperes or amps)
* R is resistance (measured in ohms)
Solving for Resistance
1. Convert milliamperes (mA) to amperes (A):
200 mA = 0.2 A
2. Rearrange Ohm's Law to solve for resistance:
R = V / I
3. Plug in the values:
R = 20V / 0.2A
4. Calculate the resistance:
R = 100 ohms
Therefore, the resistance of the material is 100 ohms.
