Question

If a 325 W heater has a current of 6.00 A, what is the resistance of the heating element?

Answer 1

9 Ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

325/6=54.2 = Volts

Volts = current x resistance

54.2/6= approximately 9 ohms

Answer 2

Resistance = 9.03 ohm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Watts = 325 W

Current = 6.00 A

Resistant = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Watt = current × volts

Volts = watt/current

Volts = 325 / 6.00

Volts = 54.2

Volt = current × resistance

Resistance = Volts/ current

Resistance = 54.2 / 6.00

Resistance = 9.03 ohm
