In an electrical circuit, the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resistor. If a current of 12 amps produces 480 volts across a resistor, how many volts would a current of 1.5 amps produce across an identical resistor? Record your answer as number only.

volts =60v

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

 The voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resistor Is mathematically represented as

V∝ C

introducing the proportion of constant , we have

V=KC

Step 2

When current =12 amps, and volts = 480, we have

V=kC

480=K  X  12

Constant of proportionality ,K= V/C=480/12= 40

Therefore, when current = 1.5 amp, volts=?

V= KC

V= 40  X 1.5

V= 60 volts
