Question 4
F

The current in a resistor is 2.0 A. The resistance of the resistor is 6.0 Ω.

Use the equation: potential difference=current×resistance\text{potential difference} = \text{current} \times \text{resistance}potential difference=current×resistance

What is the potential difference across the resistor?
