  • Calculating Electrical Resistance: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the resistance:

    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.
