Calculate Current Using Ohm's Law

To find the current flowing through a resistor, we use Ohm's Law.

Ohm's Law Formula

Ohm's Law states the relationship between voltage ($V$), current ($I$), and resistance ($R$): $V = I \times R$

Calculating Current

We need to find the current ($I$). We can rearrange the formula to solve for $I$: $I = \frac{V}{R}$

Applying Given Values

The problem provides:

• Potential difference ($V$) = 140 V
• Resistance ($R$) = 10 $\Omega$

Substitute these values into the rearranged formula:

$I = \frac{140 \text{ V}}{10 \text{ } \Omega}$

Result

Performing the calculation:

$I = 14 \text{ A}$

Therefore, the current flowing through the resistor is 14 Amperes.
