The three basic units in electricity are voltage (V), current (I), resistance (r). Which of the following statements is false?

Voltage is measured in units of volts, resistance is measured in units of ohms, current is measured in units of amps and electrical power is measures in watts.

Voltage (V) = current (I) multiplied by resistance (r) is a basic formula of physics called Ohms law.

Increasing either current or voltage will increase electrical power. It is much like using a garden hose. If you increase either the amount of water flowing through the hose or the amount of pressure pushing the water through the hose, the force of the water will increase.

Gail Mackler, 3 are correct, 1 is not. They asked which is FALSE.

Muddied question I’m which the answer information is back to front. Vague is how I would describe it all.

Ray Anderson

Ohm's Law is about current so the correct formula is Current = Voltage divided by Resistance. The current flowing in a circuit cannot be changed except by changing either the applied voltage or the resistance of the circuit.

Wayne Louis Hennie, Sorry, but you are incorrect.

Your question has not been moderated by electrical experts and the answer given is totally WRONG.The unit of voltage is volts and the unit of resistance is ohm.My answer is correct.
