An ammeter connected to a circuit with a nickel wire with a resistance of 2.5 ohms shows a force of 1.2 A. What voltage will a voltmeter connected to the ends of the nickel wire show?

R = 2.5 ohms.

I = 1.2 A.

U -?

According to Ohm’s law for a section of the circuit, the voltage at the ends of the nickel wire U is equal to the product of the current in the wire and the resistance of the wire: U = I * R.

An ammeter is a device that will show the current in the conductor I = 1.2 A.

U = 1.2 A * 2.5 Ohm = 3 V.

Answer: the voltmeter will show the voltage at the ends of the nickel wire U = 3 V.
