Question

( hurry)The current flowing through a lamp is 1.5 A. It is plugged into a 120-V outlet. What is the resistance of the lamp?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 80

Answer 2

The current flowing through the conductor I = 1.5A

The voltage in the conductor V = 120V

The resistance is calculated using the Ohm's law

The Ohm's law states that the current flowing through the resistor is equal to the voltage in the resistor divided by the resistance

`I =(V)/(R)`

`R =(V)/(I)`

Plugging in our values

`R =(120)/(1.5)`

R = 80Ω ( ohms)
