Undefined! Because A=V/R and you can't divide by zero.

This is simple math, why are you struggling with it?


With any 2 nonzero numbers, A/B is the reciprocal of B/A. In other
words, (A/B)*(B/A)=1. If you make A=0, then A/B=0. B/A should then give
the reciprocal of 0 (as in, what do you multiply 0 by to get 1). How
about infinity?

Still doesn't explain 0/0.

If you don't like this, please don't read it :-)
