Question

A heating element on an electric range operating at 200. v has a resistance of 32.0 ohms. the current drawn by the element is

Answer 1

6.25 A

Step-by-step explanation:

We cant find the current drawn by the element by using Ohm's law:

`V=RI`

where

V is the potential difference across the resistance of the element

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know

V = 200 V

`R=32.0 \Omega`

Therefore we can re-arrange the equation and solve for the current:

`I=(V)/(R)=(200)/(32)=6.25 A`
