A current of 9 A flows through an electric device with a resistance of 43 Ω. What must be the applied voltage in this particular circuit?

A4.8 V
B387 A
C387 V
D4.8 A

Verified Answer :

voltage = current × resistance

plug in all the numbers

voltage = 9 × 43

now simplify

voltage = 387 V = C.

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 387 V

Solution : Given,

Electric current = 9 A

Resistance = 43 ohms

Using ohm's law,

\(V=I\times R\)

V = applied voltage

I = electric current

R = resistance

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the value of applied voltage.

\(V=(9A)\times (43\Omega)=387V\)

Therefore, the applied voltage in the circuit will be, 387 V
