The physics
Ohm's law says current through a conductor is voltage divided by resistance. Voltage is the electrical 'pressure', resistance the narrowness of the pipe, and current the resulting flow.
Current through a 6 Ω load on 12 V
Answer: current = 2 A (power 24 W).
What we know
- Voltage: 12 V
- Resistance: 6 Ω
Step by step
- Given
- V = 12 V, R = 6 Ω
- Formula
- I = V / R
- Substitute
- I = 12 / 6
- Result
- I = 2 A
All results
| Current | 2 A |
|---|---|
| Power | 24 W |
