 Ohm’s Law Practice Problems
Answer Key
1. What is the voltage if a resistance of 25 Ω produces a current of 250 amperes?
V=IxR
V = (250) (25)
V=6250 Volts

2. What is the current produced by a voltage of 240 V through a resistance of 0.2 Ω?

I=V÷ R
I = (240) ÷ (0.2)
I = 1200 Amps

3. What voltage is necessary to produce a current of 200 amperes through a resistance of

100 Ω?
V=IxR
V = (200) (100)
V=20,000 Volts

4. What resistance would produce a current of 120 amps from a 6-V battery?
R=V÷ I
R = (6) ÷ (120)
R = 0.05 Ohms (Ω)

5. What is the current produced by a 9-V battery flowing through a resistance of 200 Ω?
I=V÷ R
I = (9) ÷ (200)
I = 0.05 Amps

6. What voltage produces a current of 500 amps with a resistance of 50 Ω?

V=IxR
V = (500) (50)
V = 25,000Volts

7. What resistance would produce a current of 200 amps with a voltage of 2,000 V?
R=V÷ I
R = (2000) ÷ (200)
R = 10 Ohms (Ω)

8. What is the current produced with a 9-V battery through a resistance of 100 Ω?
I=V÷ R
I = (9) ÷ (100)
I = 0.09 Amps
