Lesson 3 Calculating Resistance

This document discusses Ohm's law and its application to calculating current, voltage, and resistance in DC circuits. It states Ohm's law - that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. It then provides examples of using Ohm's law to solve for one of the three variables if two are given. Finally, it prompts the reader to describe their understanding of Ohm's law and generate their own example calculation questions.

Calculating Current, Voltage and Resistance in DC networks

Statement of Ohms law: The current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to
the potential difference across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.

Easy questions

1. The voltage across a lamp is 12 V and the current through the lamp is 2 A. What is the
resistance of the lamp?
2. The current through an ipad is 0.1A and the voltage of its power supply is 12V. What is
the resistance of the ipad?

Medium questions

3. The resistance of a thermistor is 34 and the current through it is 0.3 A. What is the
voltage across the thermistor?
4. The voltage across a 50 resistor is 6 V. What is the current through the resistor?

Hard questions

5. The resistance of an ipod shuffle is 3 k and the current


through it is 4 mA. What is voltage of its power source?
6. The voltage across a woman when she is struck by
lightning is 33 MV and the resistance of a human being
is around 1 k. What current flows through the woman?

Can you now describe your understanding of ohms law (in your own words) and write 3
questions of your own (easy/medium/hard)?
