    Answer:

    R = 7.5 Ω

    Explanation:

    • If the resistor is in the linear zone of operation, the resistance must obey Ohm’s Law:

            V = I*R (1)

    • By definition, the current flowing through the resistor, is equal to the charge passing through the resistor, per unit time.
    • So, we can write the following expression for the current I:

            I =\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{2C}{10s}  = 0.2 A (2)

    • From (1) and (2) we can solve for R, as follows:

           R =\frac{V}{I} = \frac{1.5V}{0.2A} = 7.5 \Omega

    • The value of the resistor is 7.5 Ω.
