Before convert the kohm TO ohms. Due to over formula is suitable for ohms.

I = V/R. (1 KOhm = 1000 Ohm. So 6.8kohm = 6800 ohms).

I = 40/6800.

= 0.00588 Amp (1 Amps = 1000MA).

= 0.00588*1000.

= 5.8.

= So answer is near 5.9mA. Thats way answer is 5.9mA.

Given that:

R = 6.8Kilo ohms = 6.8*1000 = 6800.
And V=40 volt.

And the ohms low is said (v) = IR.
THAN I=V/R ..........1.

PUTS THE VALUE OF R AND V IN EQUATION 1.

I = 40/6800
= 5.88*0.001 : 0.001 = MILL(m).
= 5.88mA.

As we know ohms law v = ir.
We have to calculate i so i = v/r.
Substitute those values in the above formulae.

40v/6.8 * powerten(-3) = 5.88 it is near to 5.9.

To solve this question, we must covert the kilo ohm resistance in ohm resistance & then solve it whatever is the answer convert it into the milliampere.

We know V=IR.

I = V/R in this case,

R = 6.8*10^3.

Instead of wasting precious time.

I = 40/6.8= 5.88.

Appx = 5.9 and its in the option so.

Convert 40V to KV and calculate the current.
I = V/R. =40 * 10^3/6.8 *10^3= 5.88.

So, approximately 5.9 is the correct answer.

I = ?
V = 40V
R = 6.8 K Ohm
R = 6800 Ohm.

Since
I = V/R
I = 40/6800,
I = 0.00588,
I = 0.00588 (10^3)(10^-3)
I = 5.9 mA.

Given:

I= V/R.
I=?
V= 40V.
R= 6.8 kilo ohms.

Solution:

By using ohms law.
I= V/R.
I= 40/6.8.
I= 5.88mA or 5.9mA.

The resistance value is only represent as in ohm. Then how the representation here will be ohm in the calculation?

Pooja said:   1 decade ago
Given that,

V = 40v,
R = 6.8Kohm,
I = V/R.

I = 40/6.8*(10^-3).

I = 5.882mA.

That is right answer.
