If you wish to increase the amount of current in a resistor from 120 mA to 160 mA by changing the 24 V source, what should the new voltage setting be?
8 V
320 V
3.2 V
32 V
Answer: Option

We'll first find the Resistance.

Let's find it
V=IR,
R=V/I.
R=24/120*10^-3,
R=24*1000/120,
R=24000/120,
R=200 (Ohm).

And now we get the value of resistance that is 200 ( Ohm ).

But we need 160 mA of current that's why now we'll find the value of Voltage and how much voltage is increasing.
Let's find,

V=IR.
V= 160*10^-3 * 200,
V= 160*200/1000,
V= 32000/1000,
V=32v.

THANK YOU.

1ST INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT FROM 120mA THEN CHANGING THE VOLTAGE FROM 24V.. K SO, R=V/I R=24/120 R=0.2K.O ... NOW WE R FIND RESISTOR VALUE... NOW WE WANT NEW VOLTAGE SETTING... SO,PUT THE RESISTOR VALUE IN OHMS LAW... ALREADY WE HAVE mA VALUE.. SO, V=I*R V=160*0.2 "V=32V "...

I = 120mA (1mA = 1000 A).
I = 120*1000 A or 12*10000 A.
V = 24v.
R = ?

According to ohm's law (V = IR).

R = V/I.
R = 24/12*10000.

Again,

I = 160*1000A or 16*10000.
R = 24/12*10000.
V = ?

According to ohm's law (V = IR).

V = 16*10000*24/12*10000.
V = 32v.

No need to go for calculation 4 like these maths. We know only option to increase current in a give circuit increase voltage. So to increase current voltage must be increased. All other values are less the 24 and only 32 and 320 are higher.

They given 2 I ratings and V1 rating and asked to find the v2 value.
R = V/I.

V1/I1 = 24/120 = 8=R2.....For V1--------1.
V2/I2 = v2/160 = V2/4 = R2..For V2--------2.

Equate 2 Epns,
8 = V2/4
V2 = 32 volts.

Change 120mA to 0.12A.

Then solve for R. R = (24/0.12) = 200 ohms.

So, it would be R = 200 ohms, I = 0.16A. V = IR = (0.16)(200) = 32 v.

Here is two currents rating then we apply ohms for two voltage rating like V1/I1 = V2/I2 So,

24/120 =V2 /160,
8/1 = V2/4,
V2= 32 Volt.

V = IR.
TAKE RATIO V1/I1 = V2/I2.
V2 = (V1*I2)/I1.
V2 = (24*160)/120.
V2 = (3840)/120.
V2 = 32V is answer.

I = 120 ma to 160 ma.

How many times it increase?

I = 160/120.
I = 4/3 times.
V = 24*4/3.
V = 32 v.
