The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use Ohm's Law, which states that the potential difference (V) across a resistor is equal to the current (I) flowing through it multiplied by the resistance (R). ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Current (I) = 2.34 A - Resistance (R) = 11.111111 Ω ### Step 2: Apply Ohm's Law Using the formula: \[ V = I \times R \] Substituting the values we have: \[ V = 2.34 \, \text{A} \times 11.111111 \, \Omega \] ### Step 3: Perform the multiplication Calculating the product: \[ V = 2.34 \times 11.111111 \] \[ V = 25.99999974 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 4: Round off to significant figures Now, we need to round the result to the correct number of significant figures. The current (2.34 A) has three significant figures, and the resistance (11.111111 Ω) has eight significant figures. Therefore, we should round the potential difference to three significant figures. The value 25.99999974 rounded to three significant figures is: \[ V \approx 26.0 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The potential difference across the given resistance is: \[ \boxed{26.0 \, \text{V}} \] ---
