Mission EC5: Voltage, Resistance and Current Calculations

Mission EC5 involves the use of the ∆V=I•R equation to solve for an unknown quantity if given the values of the other two quantities. The mission consists of 17 questions organized into 8 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
