The resistance of a conductor is said to be 1 ohm if
1 ampere of current flows through it when the potential difference across the ends is 10 volt
1 ampere of current flows through it when the potential difference across the ends is 1 volt
1 ampere of current flows through it when the potential difference across the ends is 0
0 ampere current flows through it when the potential difference across the ends is 1 volt
Apply Ohm’s law V = IR.
Thus, R = V/I = 1V/1A = 1Ω
When a potential difference of 2v is applied across the end of a wire of 5 m length a current 1 amp flows through it calculate
(a) the resistance across the ends of the wire if it is doubled on itself
When a potential difference of 2 V is applied across the ends of a wire of 5 m length, a current of 1 A flows through it. Calculate the resistance across the ends of the wire if its length is doubled.
