Solution
Let the required potential difference be V
Given, current I = 1 A and Resistance, R = 5 Ω
AIC to Ohm's law,
V = IR= (1) x (5) = 5 volt

Answer the following question.
While studying the dependence of potential difference ( V) across a resistor on the current (I) passing through it, in order to determine the resistance of the resistor, a student took 5 readings for different values of current and plotted a graph between V and t.
