In first case,
I = 0.02 amp, V = 10 volt
V = IR
10 = 0.02 × R
$\text{R}=\frac{10}{0.02}=500 \ \text{ohm}$
In second case,
I = 250 × 10-3 amp, R = 500 ohm
V = IR
V = 250 × 10 - 3 × 500
V = 125 volt.

What is a circuit diagram? Draw the labelled diagram of an electric circuit comprising of a cell, a resistor, an ammeter, a voltmeter and a closed switch (or closed plug key). Which of the two has a large resistance: an ammeter or a voltmeter?
A p.d. of 6V is applied to two resistors of $3 Ω$ and $6 Ω$ connected in parallel. Calculate:
The combined resistance.
The current flowing in the main circuit.
The current flowing in the $3 Ω$ resistor.
A $4 Ω$ coil and a $2 Ω$ coil are connected in parallel. What is their combined resistance? A total current of 3A passes through the coils. What current passes through the $2 Ω$ coil?
