Ohm's Law, ΔV = I • R, can be rewritten several ways. Which of the following is an incorrect way to rewrite Ohm's Law?
I = ΔV / R
R = ΔV / I
I / ΔV = R
1 / R= I / ΔV
use algebra on the original equation
you can't get one of the responses
I/V=R
This is an incorrect way to rewrite Ohm's Law. The correct equation is V = I • R.
To determine the incorrect way to rewrite Ohm's Law, we need to compare the given equations with the original equation ΔV = I • R.
Let's analyze each option:
1. I = ΔV / R - This equation is a valid way to rewrite Ohm's Law. It rearranges the original equation to solve for current (I) by dividing voltage (ΔV) by resistance (R). So, this option is correct.
2. R = ΔV / I - This equation is also a valid way to rewrite Ohm's Law. It rearranges the original equation to solve for resistance (R) by dividing voltage (ΔV) by current (I). So, this option is correct.
3. I / ΔV = R - This equation is another valid way to rewrite Ohm's Law. It rearranges the original equation to solve for resistance (R) by dividing current (I) by voltage (ΔV). So, this option is correct.
4. 1 / R = I / ΔV - This equation is not an incorrect way to rewrite Ohm's Law. It rearranges the original equation to solve for the reciprocal of resistance (1/R) by dividing current (I) by voltage (ΔV). So, this option is also correct.
After analyzing all the given options, it appears that none of them are an incorrect way to rewrite Ohm's Law. All the equations provided are valid ways to rearrange Ohm's Law and solve for the different variables.
