How much voltage is required to run 1.6 A of current through a 240-ohm resistor?

A. 0.0067 volts
B. 38.4 volts
C. 240 volts
D. 384 volts

Answer :

Final answer:

The voltage required to run 1.6 A of current through a 240-ohm resistor is calculated using Ohm's law and is found to be 384 volts. Therefore, the correct answer is (d) 384 volts.

Explanation:

To find how much voltage is required to run 1.6 A of current through a 240-ohm resistor, we use Ohm's law, which states that Voltage (V) equals Current (I) multiplied by Resistance (R), or V = I x R. For a current (I) of 1.6 A through a resistor with the resistance (R) of 240 ohms, the voltage (V) required is calculated as follows:

V = I x R
V = 1.6 A x 240 Ω
V = 384 volts

So, the voltage required to run 1.6 A of current through a 240-ohm resistor is 384 volts, making the correct answer (d) 384 volts.

Therefore, the correct answer is (d) 384 volts.
