Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.

eq: V=IR where V= potential difference

R= resistance

I=current

What is the relationship between ohms resistance and amps for current?

Ohm's Law states that the current (amps) in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance (ohms). This relationship can be described by the formula I = V/R, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance.


Which equation best describes the law of conservation of momentum?

The equation that best describes the law of conservation of momentum is: m1v1_initial + m2v2_initial = m1v1_final + m2v2_final This equation states that the total momentum of a closed system before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.


What is the voltage of microwave with a resistance of 5 ohms and current flowing of 10 amperes?

It looks as if you can use Ohm's Law to calculate this: V=IR (voltage = current x resistance).


Does a light bulb obeys ohms law?

Yes, a light bulb obeys Ohm's law since its resistance is constant as long as the voltage across it is constant. Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it, and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.


An electric DC circuit is attached to a 12-volt battery and has a 3-ohm resistor in it find the current flowing through the circuit?

Use the equation, V= IR from Ohm's Law V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance in ohms So then, solve the equation for I (the current) and you get I=V/R. Then just plug in the values... I= 12/3, which equals 4 A. (For current, it is measured in amperes, or just "A" as the unit.)
