Confused about the answer given by vcaa on electric power
sammyS- the voltage loss due to the resistance in the wire (2 ohms) gneil- ah, i see.. the answer for the current after voltage loss deduction is 4.55A also. But in an exam how would you know for certain that you don't need to deduct the voltage loss first? would you have to write ' the voltage...- torud
