A technician measures the current in a circuit to be -6.1 amperes and the resistance is 7 ohms. find the voltage.

Based on Ohm's Law which basically state that the voltage is proportional to current or V=I*R where the current I=-6.1 amperes and the resistance R=7 ohm's

V=(-6.1)*(7)=-42.7 volts (ANSWER)

I hope the above steps were helpful.
