what is the current in a 5 ohms resistor due to potential difference of 20 V.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use Ohm's law: \[V=IR\]rearrange to solve for current, and you will get 4 Amperes

i get it already, but im confuse about the part that it say, due to potential difference , how about that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Potential difference is same thing as voltage. Physicists say potential difference, engineers say voltage (joke :-).
