Question

An electric oven has a resistance of 201 ohms and a voltage of 220 V. How much current does it draw?

a) 11 A
b)1.1 A
c)1,100 A
d) 110 A
​

Answer 1

1.1 A. An electric oven with a resistance of 201Ω and a voltage of 220V drwa a current of 1.1 A.

The easiest way to solve this problem is using the Ohm's Law I = V/R.

An electric oven has R = 201Ω, and a drop of voltage V = 220v, solve using I = V/R:

I = 220V / 201Ω

I = 1.09 A ≅ 1.1 A
