Determine the voltage at the ends of a 20 ohm conductor if the current in the conductor is 0.4 A.

Answer: 8 volts (V).

Ohm’s classic law says: The current in a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage at the ends of the conductor and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.

I = U / R

Then: U = I * R

Where, I – current strength, A; R is the resistance of the conductor, Ohm; U – voltage, V.

U = 0.4 * 20 = 8V
