Resistance Voltage and Current With Answers

The document contains a worksheet on voltage, current, and resistance with word problems to solve using Ohm's Law. It introduces the concepts of voltage being measured in volts, current in amps, and resistance in ohms. There are multiple choice questions asking to calculate unknown values of voltage, current, or resistance given two of the three values. Additional word problems ask the student to apply Ohm's Law to calculate values in circuits describing common electronic devices.

VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND RESISTANCE Worksheet


resistance = potential difference R=V Units: R is measured in ohms (Ω)
current I V is measured in volts (V)
I is measured in amperes (A)
1. Solve for the unknown measurement.

a) I = 10 A b) I = ? c) I = 15 A
R = 1500 Ω R = 200 Ω R=?
V=? V = 240 V V = 110 V

2. Find the unknown quantity (CONVERT to the base unit FIRST, then solve).

a) I = ? b) R = ? c) I = 15 A
R = 20 Ω I = 25 mA = _________ A R = 7333 mΩ = _______ Ω
V = 350 mV = ________ V V = 110 V V=?

WORD PROBLEMS → Be sure to check your units before solving the following questions!
3. How much resistance does a light bulb create if it has a current of 25 mA around it in a 9 V circuit?

I = 25 mA = …………………
V = …………………
R=?

4. How much current flows through a 16 V battery that has a resistance of 5.1 Ω?

5. The human body offers a very small amount of resistance (let’s say 1 mΩ for argument). If a lightning bolt
(said to have 1.21 GV of potential according to a famous movie called Back to the Future released in 1984)
hits you, how much current is flowing through your body? PS. It takes a mere 50 mA of current to kill a
human being.
