Q3 L5 - Ohm's Law and Joule's Law
V = IR V = Voltage in volts
I = Current in amps
R = Resistance in ohms
PHYSICS 2 | STEM 2ND SEMESTER
Sample Problem 1:
A small light bulb is connected to a 6 V battery and draws 2 A of
current. What is the net resistance of the bulb?
Given:
V=6V
I=2A
R=?
Solution:
R = V/I.
R=6V/2A
R=3Ω

Sample Problem 2:
A motor with an operating resistance of 32 ¾ is connected to a voltage
source. The current in the circuit is 1.5 A. What is the voltage of the source?
Given:
R = 32 Ω;
I = 1.5 A
V=?
Solution:
V=IxR
V = 1.5 A x 32 Ω
V = 48 V
E=Pxt

Sample Problem 4
A 30 W light bulb is left on for 8 hours overnight, how much energy was
wasted?
Given:
t = 8 hrs = 8 hrs × 3,600 s= 28,800 s
P = 30 W
Solution:
E=Pxt
E = 30 W x 28,800 s
E = 864,000 J
