To determine the resistance of a circuit with a voltage of 10 volts (V) and a current of 5 amps (A), we can use Ohm's law. Ohm's law states that the resistance (R) in a circuit is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the current (I). The formula for Ohm's law is:
[tex]\[ R = \frac{V}{I} \][/tex]
Here are the given values:
- Voltage (V) = 10 volts
- Current (I) = 5 amps
Now, let's plug these values into the formula:
[tex]\[ R = \frac{10 \, \text{volts}}{5 \, \text{amps}} \][/tex]
Perform the division:
[tex]\[ R = 2 \, \text{ohms} \][/tex]
Therefore, the resistance of the circuit is [tex]\( 2 \, \text{ohms} \)[/tex].
