Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

What is the PD of a circuit which has a 40 mA current and a 1 kilohm resistance?

  • 40 V.
  • 400 V.
  • 4 V.

Explanation

Potential difference is found from Ohm's law: V = I x R = 0.040 A x 1000 ohms = 40 V. The conversions of 40 mA to 0.04 A and 1 kilohm to 1000 ohms are what make the figures combine cleanly.

Hello.

V = I x R
