Use Ohm’s law for the following questions.
E = I × R, where:
- Volts (V) is represented by “E” for electromotive force.
- Amperes (A) is represented by “I” for intensity of current.
- Ohms (Ω) is represented by “R” for resistance.
- If resistance in a circuit is 6 Ω and the pressure is 24 V, what is the current flow?
- 2 A
- 4 A
- 6 A
- 8 A
- If a circuit had a current flow of 8 A and the resistance is 20 Ω, what is the pressure in volts?
- 120 V
- 160 V

- 24 Ω
- 12 Ω
- 6 Ω
- 3 Ω
Use the power formula for the following questions.
watts = volts × amps or P = E × I
