  • Calculating Current with Ohm's Law: 120V & 10 Ohm Resistor
    Here's how to calculate the current:

    Ohm's Law

    Ohm's Law states: Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)

    Solving for Current

    To find the current (I), we can rearrange the formula:

    Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R)

    Calculation

    * Voltage (V) = 120 volts

    * Resistance (R) = 10 ohms

    Current (I) = 120 volts / 10 ohms = 12 amps

    Answer: A 120V power supply connected to a 10 ohm resistor will produce 12 amps of current.
