    I = V/R

    I = current = 10 amps

    V = voltage = to be determined

    R = 5 ohms

    I = V/R

    IR = V

    V = IR

    V = (10 amps)(5 ohms)

    V = 50 volts

    Therefore, the correct answer is option E.

    v = i * R

    v = 5 * 10 = 50 V

    I x R = V

    Therefor;

    5 (R2) x 10 (I) = 50V
