A laptop computer adapter has a voltage of 19 v it has a resistance of 4.0 Ω and the adapter gets warm when operating. So determine the current going through the adapter

Current, I = 4.75 Amps

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 19 V

Resistance = 4 Ohms

To find the current;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Making current (I) the subject of formula, we have;

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Current, I = 4.75 Amps
