At a voltage of 1V, the current in one conductor is 0.1 A, and in the other 0.01 A. Which of the conductors

At a voltage of 1V, the current in one conductor is 0.1 A, and in the other 0.01 A. Which of the conductors has the greatest resistance? Calculate the resistance of the conductors.

Data: U (voltage on two given conductors) = 1 V; I (current in the first conductor) = 0.1 A; I2 (current in the second conductor) = 0.01.

1) The resistances of the given conductors are determined according to Ohm’s law: Rх = U / Iх.

a) the first specified conductor: R1 = U / I1 = 1 / 0.1 = 10 Ohm.

b) the second specified conductor: R2 = U / I2 = 1 / 0.01 = 100 Ohm.

2) Since R2 (100 Ohm)> R1 (10 Ohm), the second conductor has a large resistance.
