Print and com
mplete this worksheet.

In this worksh
heet, you will answer
a questtions based on Electricity a
and Ohm’s La
aw. Show all ssteps when solving
p
problems.

N
Note: The amounts used in
n these proble
ems may not be realistic.

1. What are the four basic ctricity? Provide the variab
c units of elec ble name and symbol, and unit name an
nd
symbol.
Voltage (V) is measured in volts (V). Current (I) is measured in amperes (A). Resistance (R) is
measured in ohms (Ω). Power (P) is measured in watts (W).

2
2. Write the equation for Ohm’s
O Law.

V=IR

3
3. Re-arrang
ge the Ohm’s Law equation
n to solve the
e following:

I = V/R R = V/I

4
4. Power is equal
e age times currrent. Add the missing inforrmation in eacch of the following power e
to volta equations.

P=V I P = R I^2 P = V2 /2

5. The yelloww wire connec
cted to a powwer supply carrries 12V. If th
he power sup
pply provides 60W of powe
er to the
yellow wirre, how much current is pa
assing through
h the yellow w wire?
5 amps

6. There are
e 3.3V passing
g through an orange powe er supply cabl e, and there a
are 0.025 ohm
ms of resistan
nce in the
orange wiire. How much power is su
upplied to the orange wire by the powerr supply?
435.6 watts

7. A wire from the power supply is carrrying 120W of

7 o power and 2
24A of curren or(s) of cable is the
nt. Which colo
wire?
