If the potential difference between the two ends of a conductor a 15 volt for which current flowing through it is 3A, then find the resistance of the conductor.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Ohm.s law, `R=(V)/(I)`
`therefore` Resistance of the conductor (R ) `=(15V)/(3A)=5 Omega`
