According to Ohm's Law, which value is divided by amps to determine Ohms?

  1. Watts

  2. Volts

  3. Joules

  4. Ohms

The correct answer is: Volts

The correct choice is volts, as it directly relates to Ohm’s Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). To find resistance in ohms (R), the formula can be rearranged to R = V/I. Therefore, voltage is the value that is divided by current in amps to yield resistance measured in ohms. Understanding this principle is fundamental in electrical circuits, as it demonstrates the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. This forms the cornerstones of marine electrical practice, ensuring that the systems installed on vessels operate safely and effectively.
