Questions and Answers

According to Ohm's law, which equation correctly represents the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance?

  • R = V/I
  • V = IR (correct)
  • R = IV
  • I = V/R

What is the definition of current?

  • The resistance of a conductor
  • The rate at which charge flows through a conductor (correct)
  • The power dissipated in a circuit
  • The voltage across a conductor

How is the resistance of a wire affected if its length is doubled, assuming all other factors remain constant?

  • The resistance remains the same
  • The resistance becomes half
  • The resistance doubles
  • The resistance quadruples (correct)
