Zorluk: OrtaOhm's Law

An avionics technician is troubleshooting a direct-current (DC) audio preamplifier circuit. The circuit is powered by an 18 V18\text{ V} DC source and draws a steady current of 2.5 mA2.5\text{ mA}. What is the total resistance of the circuit in kilohms (kΩ\text{k}\Omega)?

Cevap: 7.2 kΩ

Cevap

7.2 kΩ
According to Ohm's Law, resistance is determined by dividing voltage by current (R=VIR = \frac{V}{I}). Converting 2.5 mA2.5\text{ mA} to 0.0025 A0.0025\text{ A} and dividing 18 V18\text{ V} by 0.0025 A0.0025\text{ A} yields 7200 Ω7200\ \Omega, which equals 7.2 kΩ7.2\text{ k}\Omega.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the current measurement from milliamperes (mA) to base amperes (A)
I=2.5 mA=0.0025 AI = 2.5\text{ mA} = 0.0025\text{ A}
Ohm's Law formulas require electrical quantities to be in standard base units (volts, amperes, and ohms) before computation.
2
Apply Ohm's Law rearranged to solve for resistance (R=VIR = \frac{V}{I})
R=18 V0.0025 A=7200 ΩR = \frac{18\text{ V}}{0.0025\text{ A}} = 7200\ \Omega
Resistance equals the electromotive force divided by the resulting current flow.
3
Convert the calculated resistance from ohms (Ω) to kilohms (kΩ)
R=7200 Ω1000 Ω/kΩ=7.2 kΩR = \frac{7200\ \Omega}{1000\ \Omega/\text{k}\Omega} = 7.2\text{ k}\Omega
The question specifically requests the final numerical value in kilohms.
