    Electrical and electronic technologies utilize Ohm's Law to explain the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. A nine-volt battery supplies power to a cordless blow dryer with a resistance of 18 ohms. How much current is flowing through the blow dryer? current=162 volts. Basic circuits contain four parts: power source, conductor, control, and load (output)

    File 3.1.5: Ohms Law and Basic Circuits Worksheet
    Electrical and electronic technologies utilize Ohms law to explain the relationship between
    voltage, current, and resistance. The formula for Ohms Law is represented below:
    V = voltage (units=volts)

    Ohms Law = V = I x R
    I = current (units=amps)
    R = resistance (units=ohms)

    Practice
    Using Ohms Law, solve the following problems. Be sure to show your work.
    1. A nine-volt battery supplies power to a cordless blow dryer with a resistance of 18
    ohms. How much current is flowing through the blow dryer?

    Current=162 volts
    2. A 110-volt wall outlet supplies power to a black light with a resistance of 4400 ohms.
    How much current is flowing through the black light?
    Current= 484 volts

    Designers and engineers use Ohms Law to determine the specific electrical and electronic
    components needed in a circuit, depending on the desired purpose. Basic circuits contain
    four parts (Figure 1): power source, conductor, control, and load (output).
