How do you find current if the resistance is not given?

Ohm's Law involves three quantities: -- voltage -- current -- resistance. In order to find any one of them, you need to know the other two.


I need to draw a circuit diagram to show this but I have no idea how do you find the resistance of a lamp in a circuit?

If you have a lamp, you can assume that the resistance of the lamp when it is under power will follow the ohms law. BUT, one thing you must remember is, when a lamp is under load, it is glowing HOT. When metal is HOT, the molculoes of the meals are in much more active state. When this happens, the resistance will increase. Conversely, when the lamp is NOT on ON state, the filaments are cold. Moleculoes in the filaments are not as active. Thus, the resistance is lower. There is almost 10 to 1 difference in resistance from hot to cold. Taking out a multimeter and measuring the resistance of the lamp will not help you determine the resistance of the lamp when it is actually under load (with voltage applied) Really, the only thing you can do is to measure the voltage, measure the current, then arrive at the resistance mathmatically.

A force can be measured by using?

In order to accurately measure force, you will need to understand the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. You will need to measure the mass, acceleration and then multiply the mass by the acceleration to find the force.
