Question #116209

If P = 50 watt and R = 2 ohms, then I = _

Expert's answer

Electric power is equal to product of electric current I and voltage V

P=IV.P=I\cdot V.

We know that according to Ohm's law V=IR,V=I\cdot R, so P=I2R.P=I^2\cdot R.

If R=2 ohms and P = 50 watt, we get

I=PI=502=5A.I = \sqrt{\dfrac{P}{I}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{2}} = 5 \,\mathrm{A}.
