Explain the mathematical relationship and give the units for the equation V = I•R.

Question

anonymous · Answer

Do you even know what that formula is?  

Voltage = Current * Resistance

The units for voltage are VOLTS

You can rewrite it to being 

Current = Voltage / Resistance, and the unit for current is an AMP, and in this case an AMP is equal to a Volt/Ohm

Yeah I do know what the formula is, I'm just confused with the question. When it says to give the units, what exactly am I being asked?

anonymous · Answer

The units for Voltage are VOLTS, and based off of that equation the units would be 

Volts = (Amps)*(Ohms)

When it says give the units based off of a formula, that just means rather than plugging in any numbers into an equation, you instead plug in the units associated with the variables.
