    Ohm’s Law Practice Worksheet Answer Key 8.

    8. A 12 Volt car battery pushes charge through the headlight circuit resistance of 10 ohms. How much current
    is passing through the circuit?
    1. An alarm clock draws 0.5 A of current when connected to a 120 volt circuit. Calculate its resistance.
    I = V ÷ R = 12V ÷ 10Ω = 1.2A
    9. How much voltage would be necessary to generate 10 amps of current in a circuit that has 5 ohms of
    resistance?

    V = IR = 10A x 5Ω = 50V

    2. A subwoofer needs a household voltage of 110 V to push a current of 5.5 A through its coil. What is the
    resistance of the subwoofer?

    R = V ÷ I = 110V ÷ 5.5A = 20Ω


    3. An IPod uses a standard 1.5 V battery. How much resistance is in the circuit if it uses a current of 0.01A? 10. An electric heater works by passing a current of 100 A though a coiled metal wire, making it red hot. If the

    R = V ÷ I = 1.5V ÷ 0.01A = 150Ω


    resistance of the wire is 1.1 ohms, what voltage must be applied to it?

    4. A circuit contains a 1.5 volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 3 ohms. Calculate the current.
    V = IR = 100A x 1.1Ω = 110V

    I = V ÷ R = 1.5V ÷ 3Ω = 0.5A
    11. A light bulb has a resistance of 5 ohms and a maximum current of 10 A. How much voltage can be applied
    before the bulb will break?

    V = IR = 10A x 5Ω = 50V
    12. What happens to the current in a circuit if a 10Ω resistor is removed and replaced by a 20Ω resistor?

    I = 10Ω → 20Ω For the same voltage, current decreases.


    5. What current flows through a hair dryer plugged into a 120 Volt circuit if it has a resistance of 25 ohms?
    For example, if V = 60V V = 60V
    I = V ÷ R = 120V ÷ 25Ω = 4.8A R = 10Ω R = 20 Ω
    6. What happens to the current in a circuit if a 1.5-volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 3-volt battery? I = V ÷ R = 60V ÷ 10Ω = 6A I = V ÷ R = 60V ÷ 20Ω = 3A
    V = 1.5V → 3V Current goes up, bulb probably gets bright and then
    burns out.
    For example, if R = 0.75Ω R = 0.75Ω
    V = 1.5V V = 3V
    I = V ÷ R = 1.5V ÷ 0.75Ω = 2A I = V ÷ R = 3V ÷ 0.75Ω = 4A
    7. If a toaster produces 12 ohms of resistance in a 120-volt circuit, what is the amount of current in the
    circuit?

    I = V ÷ R = 120V ÷ 12Ω = 10A


    13. Suppose you did a lab with this simple circuit and got the following data. Plot the points of the provided
    graph.

    What mathematical relationship do you see between voltage and current?

    R = V ÷ I Positive Correlation
    Is the resistance constant?

    Yes
    14. Solve for the unknown in each of these circuits
