BMAT 2003 Section 2 Question 17

Which one of the following is not equal to volts?

Answer:

You need to learn electricity equations which link power, current, voltage, energy and charge. Also, you need to learn the units of each measurement.

Let us look at the options:

A
joules/coulombs = Energy/Charge
We know the formula, Energy=Charge x Voltage
Hence, Voltage = Energy/Charge

B
amperes x ohms = Current x Resistance
We know V=IR which is Voltage = Current x Resistance

C
watts/amperes = Power/Current
We know P=VI which Power = Voltage x Current
Rearranging, we get Voltage = Power/Current

D
√watts x ohms = √Power x Resistance
We know:
P = VI and I = V/R
If we substitute I = V/R in P=VI, we get:
P=V²/R
V² = PR
V= √Power x Resistance

E
The given units cannot be used to manipulate equations.
