A conductor is said to have resistance of one ohm if a potential difference of one volt across its terminals causes a current of X ampere to flow through it. What will be the value of X?(a) 4(b) 2(c) 3(d) 1I had been asked this question in my homework.My doubt stems from Basic Network Concepts in section Circuit Elements and Kirchhoff’s Laws of Network Theory

Answer»

Correct option is (d) 1

The BEST explanation: Ohm’s law states that the POTENTIAL difference (voltage) across a conductor is proportional to the current through it. The constant of proportionality is called the Resistance(R).

ACCORDING to Ohm’s law, V = IR (where V is the potential difference between two POINTS which include a resistance R).

–> I = V/R = 1V/1Ω = 1A.
