Question

What formula is used to calculate voltage in a circuit?

Answer Options

  • A) E = I x R
  • B) E = I / R
  • C) E = I + R
  • D) E = I – R

Correct Answer: A


Explanation

This is the primary form of Ohm’s Law. To calculate voltage (\text{E}) in a circuit, you multiply the current (\text{I}) by the resistance (\text{R}): E = I \times R.

This formula is used to calculate the voltage drop across a component (like a resistor) when you know its resistance and the current flowing through it, a common calculation in circuit design.
