Physics PYQ 101 of 144 · Electricity

Which of the following is the resistance of the wire?

  1. AR = IV
  2. BR = I/2V
  3. CR = V/I
  4. DR = I/V

70th BPSC

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) R = V/I

Explanation

By Ohm's Law, resistance equals voltage divided by current: R = V/I.

Here R is in ohms (Ω), V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes.

Forms like R = IV or R = I/V are dimensionally wrong and do not follow Ohm's Law.
