Electronic – Quick Question about ohms law and resistors

12vohms-lawresistorsshort-circuit

This may have been asked before, but I'm currently I'm an argument about whether or not passing 12v through a .1 ohm resistor would result in 120 amps due to Ohm's Law. (I=V/R)
Providing that the power source has a negligible internal resistance

Best Answer

In theory, yes, exactly.

Provided the 12V source has negligible internal resistance and provided the 0.1 ohm resistor does not change resistance (or melt or explode) from dissipating 1.44kW.
