Question

" If a 701-Ω heating filament is carrying a current of 0.0700 A, what voltage drop will exist between the two ends of the filament? "

Answer 1

To find the voltage drop across the heating filament, we use Ohm's Law:

Given:

• Resistance, $R=701\mathrm{\Omega }$

• Current, $I=0.0700\text{A}$

Step 1: Apply Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law states:

$$V=I\times R$$

Step 2: Calculate the Voltage Drop

$$V=0.0700\text{A}\times 701\mathrm{\Omega }=49.07\text{V}$$

Answer:

• Voltage drop: $49.1\text{V}$
